This document describes the changes, additions, and bug fixes
to ProComm version 2.4.2.
- Problems with CompuServe B protocol downloads have been fixed.
- Televideo Ctrl-^ home sequence processing has been fixed
- Fixed ALT-H hangup problem when Host mode connection type set
to direct.
- 2.4 Manual Addendum: The manual lists a CMD command for ASCII
downloads, GETFILE ASCII "filename". This is in error. That
command does not exist. Only ASCII uploads can be performed
using the command language.
- NOTE: 2.4 will automatically create a new PROCOMM.PRM file
if it finds a 2.3 or earlier .PRM file.

This document describes the changes, additions, and bug fixes
to ProComm version 2.4.1.
- A bug in the ANSI/BBS emulation's processing of nulls and

New command structure: SET BACKSPACE IN DEST/NONDEST for

is in the description of the above command language change.

for exact mapping.)
