Oh well, I have already found out the mystery of the large system.  This
is sorta embarrassing!  It seems that somehow I had turned on my ram 
cache (I coulda sworn I turned it off to maximize multifinder).  Oh 
well....

More clues on that prob with versaterm, or in general.  I noticed 
that after looking for and running programs that can execute and
do moving screens while still allowing one to use the mouse, the
background execution is terrible!  Things seem to background but
alas, only when windows are being opened or closed.  This means that
only a second or two of background work is done for lots of furious
windowing activity....hmm.. and it freezes as soon as everything 
stabilizes.  Since the programs seem to execute nicely in background
during those short periods, I am wondering if there is a way to make
them execute continuously...  This still might not solve the versaterm 
problem..what other ways are there of downloading in background?  If i
have to use something like xmodem, is that a program commonly found in
mainframes?  I know kermits are on there, so I'm leaning toward
terms with kermit.

Well, thanks for any help!
