I have noticed this strange behaviour...but it seems that if you type a 
space at the end of the line before pressing [Return] then it all works 
fine. (Don't ask me why. It just does :-)

You can email them to me -- no problem. There are free hosting services 
around, e.g. awardspace.com, if you are looking for something more 
general. Have never used them but they don't serve ads -- I presume they 
offer the free service to let you try before you buy. The only possibly 
serious restriction is that no individual file can be more than 500Kbyte, 
but you can have 2GB of total data (and 5GB download per month). Doesn't 
seem too bad for nothing. You don't need a domain name, either.

Doesn't work on Windows Mobile 5.0. At least, I couldn't get 
it to work. My guess is that this is "by design."

It works just fine. Except for those curious trailing chars when entering 
code at the '>' prompt. As I mentioned, a trailing space seems to make it 
all good.
