For those of you having difficulty enabling the ZMODEM download protocol within
WNQVT5.X, here are some suggestions.

1. Read all the files and documentation that came with the WNQVT program
   (Seriously, it helped me figure out the program substantially)

2. Copy all WNQVT terminal files to the Windows subdirectory

3. Edit the QVT.INI file. Specifically, specify the name of your
   download directory next to the download_dir command.

4. Edit the VT.INI file. Set your download protocol and enable 
   auto-zmodem.

5. Now, when you go to download a file. Enter the download command
   and quickly hit the Transfer menu item, then hit the zmodem
   download. Another menu will pop up. Hit the OK button promptly
   and the download should be underway. I've found timing is
   critical for this operation. Essentially you want to get
   the ZMODEM protocol going before the host sends a "NACK"
   command

Incidently, I've had success setting the download_dir command to C:\ - This has
not given me any problems. If anyone has more questions, about the downloading
process, respond and I'll try to make an educated guess to the problem
