  If you have read the previous posts concerning XPR and the Zmodem library
  (zprzmodem.library, v2.10).  Then you already know that typically when
  invoking the "receive" option, the zmodem window appears, and the machine
  Gurus, with a 00000003 code.  I have found that when I run through the
  "Init Ext. Params" option first, say when I just started up, it works
  without trouble.  Here are some data points about the environment:

     Handshake V2.20c
     xprzmodem.library V2.10
     Kickstart (v1.3) 34.5, Workbench (v1.3) 34.28
     ARexx V1.10
     Stock A1000 w/2MB Ram (1.5Mb Ext)
     Modem used is a Telebit T2500 (at speeds up to 19.2K)

  I don't know if this is due to Handshake *or* the XPRZmodem library.
  I have not experimented with the other two XPR libraries (kermit & xmodem).

  I have one question concerning XPR and saving parameters: is it possible to
  save more than one XPR parameter?

  I've liked using Handshake, because it is an excellent VT100/220 emulator
  and has many handy features.  The new ARexx port makes it even more handy.
  The one detraction I find is the large executable size.

Pete.
