This program is really starting to shape up, but I am completely baffled
as to why they chose to ALMOST implement auto-download with ZMODEM. When
you start a download, a box comes up and you have to click on OK to get
it to run. WHY WHY WHY? If I didn't want to download it, I wouldn't
download it. How about letting me turn off this safety option? Please!
And the other thing is on an 800x800 or 1024x768 screen, it is very tiny
type on that screen, WHY WHY WHY? 

Anybody have a rationalization for these FEATURES?
