HyperTerm will send multiple files just fine.  All you have to do is
make sure you put all the files you want to transfer into one
directory on your PC then tell HyperTerm you want to send a file.  Use
the browse button to select one of the files in the directory with all
the files you want to send and when you are returned to the dialog
with the browse button, use the edit box to the left of that button
and replace the filename you just selected with "*.*" without the
quotes.

This tells HyperTerm to send all the files in that directory.  If you
want to limit the types of files to send you can do any of the
wildcard selections you want.  *.shk will send only ShrinkIt files,
a*.* will send all files with filenames starting with the letter a,
a?.* will send all files with filenames starting with the letter a
followed by only one character followed by a dot and any extension
(ie. a1.txt, a2.txt, au.mp3, etc).

Just remember to check how much space the files you are sending will
take up before you start sending as ProTERM can only access 32 MB
volumes and it might take longer to track down which files transfered
successfully than it would to send the files singlely.  :)
