I use it all the time and since Flash version 1.2 or 1.3 there has been Ymodem Batch in it. My Flash 1.6, which I believe is the current version, has it, and I understood that you had to have 1.6 to work with Shadow. The command is dl yb to download using Ymodem Batch. Since it isn't available as an Alt-Key combination (is this what you meant?) I set it up as a Function key. I have been doing Ymodem batch for almost a year and a half on Forem, Citadel and a number of Unix type systems and find it extremely handy. However I have noted that there is mention of a newer Ymodem protocol, called Ymodem-G? Any idea what that is? The two protocols that are around which Flash by itself does NOT support is Zmodem and Kermit. Zmodem is available as a separate executable and the accessory is available from Antic to handle Kermit protocol.
