I had exactly the same problem you have.  You must set your protocol, using the
ALT-P command to space parity, 7 data bits and 1 stop bit.  Of course, you must
also be at the proper baud rate.  One other thing to check is the default path
you have specified for download.  This can be checked or changed by using ALT-S
and then making selection 4 - General Setup.  If the specified directory does
not exist, I can assure you that you will have an inexplicable abort each time
you try to download.  Hope this helps.  I agonized over this one for quite a
while.
