- This would only occur on Xmodem protocols, because Ymodem and Zmodem
- protocols get the filenames from the other end. When you're uploading,
- FZDT makes a file containing the batch list of files to send (at least
- my FZDS is set up to do so). I'm not sure if it then puts the entire
- batch list on the command line, but I don't thinks so, why then bother
- to even create the batch list?
