	I guess I don't understand what you're having a problem with, but
I sciibin EVERYTHING then download it with ProTERM from my UNIX account
and it works fine.. I don't understand your problem then I guess.

	Possible problems that you didn't mention but could be problems:

	1) If you're rlogging in from one place to another, use a "-8" to
make sure you have an 8 bit connection.. Otherwise things get munged.

	2) If you're getting things from FTP sites, make sure you use
binary transfer. (type binary at a prompt)

	I think that that, "Yesterday's Enterprise," and the one with Soong,
Data, and Lore, are the best episodes so far!
