Art,
  I haven't been following your thread very closely, but have you looked
into the ftp "site" command, or "quote site"?  You cand use site to send
system specific FTP commands.  Maybe you could use it to support PUT or MPUT
with ;REC=, when ftp'ing from your NT machine.
  I use it for IBM specific commands when ftp'ing to an IBM system,
"ftp>quote site lrecl=80",  to set a record length, or "lrecl", on the
mainframe side.
