Ace definitely isn't using the current version of VersaTerm Pro.
Version 3.1 definitely supports background file transfers and I know
some versions before this did as well.

I only wish that it would support multiple windows like MacLayers.

Does anybody know if version 3.5 is out yet.  It appears that it is but
I haven't received an upgrade notice yet.
