Well, thanks to all who responded about FTP.  I guess I should elaborate
on two points.  First of all, I have a mainframe account that I normally
use (this BBS just happens to have Comp.Sys.Amiga, and it's handy).  I
wouldn't think I could FTP from here.
 
Anyway, what I really need is help from someone who has used FTP from
an IBM VM/CMS system, since that's what I've got access to.  I also
have access to a Digital system if that's any easier.  I managed to
get into FTP, but when I tried the host, it just said "unknown host".
(I lost the host name too in a fit of organization).
 
The VM/CMS system has on-line help for FTP, but if you thought UNIX
documentation was twisted...
 
Thanks again.
