I did some poking around and found out that the Windows command line FTP can
take a script file. I have a Windows batch file that runs a ftp session to
download a QWK packet, then fires up DOSBOX or vDOS. Both have MM in their
autoexec.txt files, so it goes straight into the emulator. The last step in the
batch file will upload the .REP packet. we'll see how it goes later today.
