I have discovered the problem mentioned earlier in this group regarding
KA9Q and a 'dir' of a remote machine losing the CR/LF.  This occurs when
the transfer mode is IMAGE, and the PC is not translating CR into CR/LF
before displaying it. 

As a work-around, you can always do a TYPE ASCII before you DIR, then change
back to TYPE IMAGE before you transfer...

			OR

To correct this in the code (I have NOT DONE THIS, so I am just guessing):

When doing a LIST:
		If we are currently in IMAGE MODE, send a 
			TYPE ASCII
		do the LIST
		If we were in IMAGE before, send a TYPE IMAGE

This should not be TOO hard to do.  If anybody implements this, let me know,
as I do not have the tools to recompile KA9Q.

Thank!
