Does anyone have any idea how the 48 determines whether or not it has
received a valid file during a binary transfer (i.e. to turn it into an
object if it's valid or leave it as a string if it's not).  I'm writting
some drivers for the 48 to control a Tandy Portable Disk Drive II (PDD II)
(which doesn't use kermit), and my receive routines need to be able to
determine if what it's got is a valid object just like the 48's own routines
do.

I tried following the Recn_string thread @ 2d816 but several of the address
in it aren't in my list (plus I don't quite have a handle on looping in RPL
threads yet...for example, how does Inc_local_and_loop_ctr @ 04E53 work?).
