Later versions of AccuTerm support Print Wizard which will process
documents that use PCL5 for formatting and print them on any Windows
printer, or send the document as a pdf via email or fax. Lots of

This raises the possibility of firing off an OS-based file transfer

Kevin,
As OP suggested, the FT program can be used from the command line.
To run from within another program, use the FTX subroutine.
Example program:
* open and read data to be transfered into ITEM variable.
MODE = 'S,K' ;* Send from server to PC using Kermit protocol.
FNAME = 'XYZ' ;*
Hi, I just need a quick answer as I don't have Accuterm installed here to
