Just to be dangerous, I tried getting a file from myself, and it 
didn't do anything.  I'm hoping the program is smart enough to know I 
was being dumb, but it's not the same item, is it?

Suppose you and I are D-RATting, and for whatever reason, one of us 
needs to change ports to make it continue to work.  Possibly RF paths 
changed during the day, or I finally put up the better antenna for the 
other radio.  How do we then change ports?
     or
We tried radios 'A', and it sort of worked, but now we want to try 
'B'.  Unless we can somehow change the chosen port, the only choice is 
to kill the program and restart?

I hope that explains it.
