I just checked this out, everything works correctly, except that the
error message uses the default volume, not the destination volume.
I will fix this in version 1.51.  I can see how you were confused. Sorry...

So, if you got the "Not enough room..." message, indeed there wasn't
enough room on the destination disk.  Use "About VersaTerm..." and DRIVE
to double check this.

Something to keep in mind when downloading large files... I pop up the
"Not enough room.." error message when the size of the file to be transferred
exceeds the amount of free disk space.  But, a special case exists if file
"foo" is say 200k to be downloaded, you have 190k left on the disk, but
file "foo" already exists on the disk (say its 100k).  Since you are overwriting
"foo" the transfer would work, but instead you will get an error message.
A trick to delete files is to "Save Stream..." over the file, and 
exit "Save Stream..." right away.  Several DA's also exist to delete files
from an application.
