Well, that's sort of what the verify action is for, but that doesn't make
sense for X/Y modem uploads I suppose. I don't have a spec for the X/Y
modem protocol, but presumably there is a way to tell the other end to
abort the upload? Then we could display the message and require a "-f" for
"force" argument? This would also make sense for the other points in the
function where we abort it with an error message. Otherwise there is no way
to ever see any problems until you cancel the upload on the host.
