In the TRAPDOOR support echo, Mike Hall asked this question:

 MH> I've got a few file echo's set up and manually poll for a some of
 MH> them, sometimes I've already got the files and so am wondering is
 MH> there a way to skip the current transfer and not abort the whole
 MH> trapdoor session?  It's painful when calling STD watching a 500k
 MH> file come in when you've allready got it!  :8-/

Good point, I thought, and supplied Mike with an answer

The answer was well received except for one small point:  it's a bit
complicated, isn't it?  Well, I couldn't argue with that.  Andy McArdle
suggested that this would be a candidate for a Plutonic utility.

And so was born PlutReject, a small utility to take a lot of the hard
work out of the above steps, but still resulting in a renamed file in
the inbound directory with the relevant FileNote to enable TrapDoor to
resume transfer at the offset equal to the length of the file - in
effect "cancelling" the incoming file.

    Mea Culpa, Peter Deane
