no one said it was foolproof....

in the continuing saga of my transferring files from a ][c to a PC, i 
finally was able to get the null modem to work.  i think that the 
problem was that Com1 on the PC was set to a speed of 9600 baud in the 
systems folder of the control panel.  when i set it to 300, the files 
started transferring.

oh, and i rebuilt the cable, just in case i had screwed something up...

so now the Dos3.3 transfer is going fine... 10 lines... 50 lines... one 
right after another... then all the sudden, i start getting what looks 
like line feeds.  at the end of each line is an inverted shading on an L 
(an L shows in a flashing green block).  then, one line down, i get an 
inverted P.  then 4 or 5 lines farther down, i get the next line.  It 
seems as if some sort of line feed is getting transmitted....  anyone 
see this before???

when the file finishes, i do not get the standard ]-prompt as the readme 
file says will happen.  instead, i get just an asterisk...  as if it's 
expecting another line...

does anyone know what's happening?  is it expecting an end-of-file to be 
sent?

thanks again for any help...
