I tried the RYM.com demo with Jim's cheat sheet, and right away, I was able to move a file from the Yasnac to my laptop. There where a couple items from the cheat sheet that I didn't understand, so I was not able to move a file form the laptop to the Yasnac, but I think with a little bit of study, this should work also. I noticed that one of the settings was to set the Yasnac to send ASCII, so I tried putty.exe again, and no joy. Then I remembered Hyperterminal and tried that, which worked for download also. So something about putty.exe doesn't like the Yasnac data. For upload I just need to work out which characters are need, "%" at the beginning and end, and/or ";" between lines. ------------ Kirk http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
