   I have been trying for some time to use VLT to send and receive files
from a remote kermit running on the mainframe.  The trouble I have
(I'm using release 1.5 of XPRkermit),  is that every time I give
the command (from ARexx):
   'FILE GET [myfile]'
VLT puts up a requester asking for the name of the file to get, ignoring
the fact that I have already specified the filename ("myfile").  The
corresponding syntax for the send function:
   'FILE SEND [myfile]'
works fine (i.e., it sends "myfile" without putting up a filename requester).
   Note that the remote kermit is in server mode,  and that VLT External
Protocol Options knows that the mainframe is in server mode (I've also
set Kermit Mode host_server in case that might help).
   This operation did work in the older version of VLT (the KG command
did a kermit get).  According to the VLT docs,  it should only put up a
requester if the file name in the FILE GET command is not specified.
   Am I overlooking something?   Any help would be appreciated.
