Return codes from this command are ignored. You can NOT place a LIST, NLST, RETR or SEND command here! Added a sorted directory listbox option. Support for micros.hensa.ac.uk (use NCSA/CUTCP host type) Added support for alternate ports (Port must be greater than 100 or port is set to 21) Support for host type BULL GCOS (untested) Directories can be unselected by holding CTRL key down while clicking on a name. (While multiple names can be selected in the directory listboxes, only the last name selected will be used.) Correction for CWD when host type is VMS_UCX. (was this the right one???) Extended the length of a configuration name. (using long names reduces the maximum number of names that will be displayed in the dropdown list). Added Save Dir Loc button to save the current remote and local directories to the current configuration (in the options dialog). Added option to have buttons appear at top of window. I've got a whole list of other changes to make but have been fairly busy lately so it may be a few weeks before the next version. Sorry if the change that you requested has not been included yet. There just isn't enough time in a day! jaj
