Barry Lake was correct in his comment:

I'll have to check that one out.

Well, I had a chance to check out why we never enter a record length when we
do a Minisoft BINARY transfer of files from our HP to our PCs, and vice
versa.  Apparently the default record size Minisoft uses for BINARY
transfers is the same size TurboSTORE uses - 256 bytes.  I guess we've been
lucky all this time and never knew it.

Thanks Barry!
