	When you find a file you want to download, just type
"w <filename>" (obviously without the quotes and the <>s) at a prompt..

	If you just want to download it RIGHT AWAY, you can type
"w /tmp/<filename>" so it will go into the /tmp directory on UNIX
and won't be counted as your own space.. But this way you should
download it soon (i.e. within a half hour or so at most) because it can get 
deleted.

	Now you can either use a terminal program to download it
(for example  "xmodem sbyk /tmp/filename" will tell UNIX to send the 
filename in YMODEM BATCH mode, which is the best mode to use)..

	Then after that you'd have to use BINSCII on it then ShrinkIT
probably..

	there's also a UNIX program that will UN-binscii the file so that
the download will be smaller and thus take less time.

	I only have a runnable program though so I can't send it to you.
