I don't use PComm so I can't answer your question directly, but perhaps I can suggest an alternative; have you considered using the ISPF Workstation Agent to do file transfers? I use it every day and to me it's by far the easiest way to transfer files to and from a mainframe. If you're not sure how to set it up let me know and I'll be happy to help.
