I'm having horrible trouble trying to do attended downloads using Mac
Kermit 0.9(40) (the version posted to comp.binaries.mac recently).  I'd
like your help (or at least your sympathy).

I have a 512ke with an external drive, and am using Finder 6.0 and System 4.2.
My last attempt was made with a boot disk in the internal drive and a disk
with Kermit in the external drive.  Communications options were set to 1200
baud, even parity.  All other options were set at the default values.

I downloaded one file with file defaults set to "Unattended..." and "Create
new file names...".  This download went smoothly.

I then changed the file default to "Attended"  (why doesn't the "Create
new file names" sub-option under "Unattended" become disabled when I do
this?) and downloaded a file called "resmenu".  A dialog asked whether I
would like to save it as "resmenu", and I clicked "ok".  Another dialog
came up and announced that Kermit was receiving "RESMENU" as "[]" (the
quad, or undefined character symbol)!  Other than that, the transfer went well.

I then tried to download a file called "layo".  Clicking "ok" in the first
dialog resulted in an alert that said "The file is busy".  When I tried to
save on the boot disk in the other drive, the same alert came up.  I
ejected the Kermit disk and tried to save on a third disk, and got an alert
that said "IO Error -37".

Switching back to "Unattended" fixed the problem.
