I've done this and it's pretty easy.  Basically, the easiest way to do this
is as follows:

   1) start the "script recorder" in Reflection
   2) do "the stuff" you want [login, transfer a file, log out]
   3) stop the recorder, and when it asks for a filename, make sure you
save it as a VISUAL BASIC file (.BAS) instead of an RBS or RCL file.

This last step does the whole thing -- you'll end up with a VB module you
can directly open with VB 5 or 6 and it will have everything laid out for
you. [creating the object, setting the comm parameters, prompt-boxes for
passwords that don't echo what the user types, etc.]

For the most part, you're script will consist of ".Transmit"
and ".WaitForString" commands [with several StatusBar.text = "what I'm
doing next..." settings thrown in for good measure ;) ]

One important thing to remember is to import/add the reflection "api"
module (rwinapi.txt) as part of your VB project.  This is a file that
defines all the symbolic constants used by the script(s) created by
reflection.  (things like rcAllowKeystrokes and NEVER_TIME_OUT)
