First off, my hat's off to Willy Langveld (sp?) and the crew who made
VLT a reality. Excellent term program, does everything I want.
almost... anyways, clap cheer, clap etc..

Now my questions.
1) I use VLTjr in workbench mode(interlace) and want it to open to a
custom window size (80 columns and Xlines) Is there a way to set this or
must I reset the window everytime I run the program?

2) I am using the latest XPRZ from ab20 (dated Feb 91) and was d/l'ing
a couple of files, but to my dismay the zmodem window never closed at EOF.
I hit return calmly and it went away but I though this  was an odd feature/bug

3) Also with the XPRZ, the file is "empty" until it is complete.  Is there
any way to do a partial d/l and not have an "empty" file?

4) Now my most important question is with the script capabilites.
If someone has a vlt script solution please tell me.  I ordered Arexxi
yesterday and hope to see it a week or so. But a solution in the pre-one week
window would be great.

here's the problem.
I would like to leave my term program running when I turn in so it will
dialup my unix box and instruct the box from shell to fttp files and then
sz them to me. then logoff when it is done.  I'd like to do it at 4am when 
there not much net-traffic.
The way I'd like to do it is have the script running at all times BUT it
should read a file named "wanted" on my home disk which is in the
following format.
/incoming/amiga/example1
/amiga/utils/etc
/sun/info/billthecat
/comp/sources/opus

so then at any given day I could just edit the "wanted" file and
itwill d/l the files unattended.

any help would be appreciated, even a rexx script so I can be up and
running immediately.

that's about it, GREAT program, between Jr-comm and VLT there isnt a need
for anything else.
