   After testing the files downloaded with this script, I realised the files   
   themselves were corrupted, so updated my wrapper script to use this syntax for   
   the actual downloading;   
      
     /usr/bin/gkermit -d /tmp/kermit-send.log -Xis $FILE   
      
   -X means eXternal - seemed appropriate   
    i means Binary mode transfer (default) but wanted to force it to make sure   
    s means Send with the filename as the argument   
      
   Reckon this is good to go now =)   
      
   ... Help! I can't find the "ANY" key.
