Can't help with the specifics of the retrieve command, however I think 
you may have problems using this directly under Windows XP (or NT & 2000 
  for that matter). I believe the problem is partly that the XP floppy 
driver only supports 512 bytes/sector, where CoCo and Dragon both use 
256 bytes/sector.

There is a possible way out if you make a boot floppy and boot from that 
  you may be able to get your transfer program working.

Hope that helps.

Phill.
