  I frequently do what you describe, and I don't have any problems with it, so
I'll just make some suggestions.
 
  First, if you're putting these files in an acquired drive space, either make
sure that you're CD'd to the TEMP: directory, or have the filenames in the .COM
file begin with TEMP:
 
  I assume you're launching DL.COM by typing '$ @ DL.COM' (@ executes a .COM
file)
 
  As a note, you can add several filenames to a SZ command; makes it a little
easier on your terminal program as Zmodem won't keep receiving a ZFIN after
each file, and will operate in a batch mode a little nicer.. just picky stuff
here :)
 
  As I said, I don't have any problems.. hope this helps at all..
