Subj : qnet-ftp and non-standard ports

Hi -

In the process of using the qnet-ftp script to set up my BBS with a QWK hub
with a non-standard FTP port, I seem to have spotted a bug in the qnet-ftp
script.

I've updated my sbbs\exec directory from the CVS repository and noticed that
a couple years ago, the qnet-ftp script had been updated to take a port number
as the last argument.  However, it seems to be setting the port number to only
the last digit of the port number specified on the command line.  For example,
I'm specifying port 2121 on the qnet-ftp command-line; I added a line of
debugging in the qnet-ftp script during its command-line processing, under the
"case 3" (where it's setting the port variable) to output the port that it
gets.  It seems to be iterating over each digit in the port argument.  This is
the output I see in my Synchronet events window (with my line of debug output)
when my BBS does the network call-out (my password has been hidden with
asterisks): 11/1 09:10:26p  QNET-FTP: KELLYS kellys.synchro.net ******** 2121
 11/1  09:10:26p  *** Passed port: 2
 11/1  09:10:26p  *** Passed port: 1
 11/1  09:10:26p  *** Passed port: 2
 11/1  09:10:26p  *** Passed port: 1
 11/1  09:10:26p  QNET-FTP: Connecting to kellys.synchro.net:1 ...

Would this be easily fixable?
