	Ok, I'd like to get this straightened out for myself once and for all.
Ok here's the questions on using FTP's:

		When d/l a .bsq.Z file do I set it to "file", "binary" or
"ascii"?  
		Then, when I use Kermit (ugh..) to u/l the file to my Apple IIgs
do I set the file type to ascii or binary?
		Using Kermit in Proterm on the receiving end, do I use:
			1: file or batch
			2. What do I set the default filetype to?

(an example of where .bsq.Z files are found is Wuarchive.wustl.edu)
And...  Do I use GSHK first or Binascii?

		Also, what do I do for plain .shk files?
Thanks alot for all your help...  I've been trying to figure it all out, but
I have too much work (don't we all!) to spend too much time...

					Thanks!
