   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.
