I am not absolutely sure if this is what you mean, but, the Flash Terminal
program from Antic (and Uniterm) and so rumours go the Interlink and 
ST-Talk Professional has the capability to execute another program, GEM or
other.


Now with Flash, you can basically do the transfer using a different program
such as Shadow, or the Zmodem program (SZ/RZ). The Shadow program sounds
more like what I think you mean. It is the background transfer utility for
the Flash program and I believe usable with other systems. The Zmodem 
programs can be used with Flash by going and using the command line and
executing a command, EXEC programname parameters.  Now the Shadow program
works automatically.

I haven't worked with it, but I understand Interlink has a program that
allows it to work with a background task as well. Uniterm and ST-Talk Pro
both have the capability to execute outside programs as well as far as I
know. You should be able to work with TTP programs such as RZ/SZ the 
Zmodem transfer programs. Is that what you meant?
