On Windows 2000, Hyperterminal pops up a modal dialog box containing the
following text:

   "Transfer cancelled by remote system"

So both Linux and Windows users are presented with a message which suggests to
a novice user that the transfer has failed. The subsequent message from RedBoot
does little to reassure such users that the transfer was in fact successful.

The considerable performance advantage afforded by cancelling the ELF image
transfer is obtained with a considerable usability penalty.

I would like to propose that RedBoot emits a reassuring message when cancelling
transfers in this way. Something like:

 "Transfer terminated on successful receipt of all loadable ELF sections"

Gary, are you OK with this? If so, could you make this change or something
similar please?
