Several people have written regarding problems in a lock-up
in umodem following file transfer between the UNIX PC and
another UNIX host.  There is one way of breaking out of this
which always seems to work.  By the way -- the problem only
appears to occur when you UPLOAD a file from the UNIX PC
to the remote host, e.g., by typing "umodem -r" or 
"umodem -rb" on the remote host .

After the file has transferred, the "local" command menu has
appeared, and you have pressed "CANCL", your emulator screen
appears, but it is unresponsive to keystrokes -- the cursor
just sits and blinks at you.  NOW, DO THIS:  

-->Press <Shift>-<Cmd> [The "Local" commands menu pops up.]
-->Select "Emulator reset" and press <Enter>

Now the screen will clear.  Press <Return> -- and you should
be back in business.

Incidentally, I have only encountered this problem when
transferring a file between the UNIX PC and a host running
UNIX 5.2x -- never between two UNIX PC's.  When you
encounter the problem, would you please note the
circumstances and send me email?  Thanks.
