The problem, I believe is not in VersaTerm but in MultiFinder (or at least
the Finder running under MultiFinder :-)) since the same problem occurs
with Red Ryder 10.3.  Closing the window and reopening it from the Finder
makes the Finder take a new look at the file's information and update it
to reflect the change in status after the download is complete.

I think this is bug (or shortcoming) of the new Finder which doesn't
constantly check to make sure the information showing on the screen
is correct.  It's funny because I remember the Finder handling things
properly under TOPS (i.e., updating the windows in real time) when I was
testing it.
