Keywords: I'm new to this! Message-ID: <4399@vela.acs.oakland.edu> Date: 23 Dec 90 06:35:33 GMT Organization: Oakland University, Rochester MI. Lines: 19 I finally got a modem (an early Christmas Present)! A beautiful Applied Engineering Datalink Express 2400. I have used this newsgroup before, from the IBM clones at school, but I have never used my IIgs on a network before. This is great! Here's my problem... I am using Readylink, and I also have attempted to use the Communications program in AppleWorks GS (but it just didn't look right- I need the vt100 emulation). I wanted to know how to download files from the binaries (I forget the exact name) newsgroup to use on my GS. Do I need any other special software (I have Shrinkit)? Can anyone tell me the actual commands needed to download a file? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Michael Heintz mkheintz@vela.acs.oakland.edu
