uart error during download

I am trying to create a Procomm Plus 4.7 script that dials into a system and
downloads a file using xmodem. I can connect and download the file manually
(without the script) without a problem. When I run the script, however, the
download starts ok and even successfully downloads about 2600 bytes, but then
"uart error" appears next to the "transfer status." Then the transfer aborts
and the script exits. I tried adding "set xmodem relaxed ON" before
downloading the file, but that didn't help.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Mark

Mark, it seems to be a Procomm bug. We got the msg "timeout" before the
numbers start to jump in the transfer status window and the file did arrive
error-free. Have you tried to put the following loop after getfile command?
while $xferstatus yield endwhile

Good luck!
Ben
