I use OmniCom to xfer files. A lot of files.  I mostly use Xmodem, but
have also used Kermit.  Both work OK, except that there is an apparent
bug in the Xmodem D(ownload) routine.  When downloading to  my  XE,  I
have  to  press  <CTRL>F  after the download is done and I have Q(uit)
back to terminal (communication) mode.  I figured this out  because  I
first  did  most  of my downloading from Delphi, and it would just sit
there until I hit <CTRL>C, then it  would  say  "..Status:  Final  ACK
missing."   Well,  I thought, maybe I can supply that ACK.   A look in
an ASCII table or two showed that ACK was <CTRL>F.  It works!

There is no such problem  when  uploading  (OmniCom  responds  to  the
remote host's final ACK just fine).
