  My version of MS Works (version 1.0) supports xmodem, a simple protocol
for transfer files. To use it:

1.  Type "sx <filename>" (and a CR of course!)
2.  The unix host answers "Give your local XMODEM receive command now."
3.  Choose "Recieve file" from the Communications menu
4.  Click on the radio button "xmodem text transfer" to choose protocol
5.  CLick on the "OK" button (or is it called "Recieve"?)
6.  The transfer starts

  If your're going to send a lot of files between, you better find a faster
protocol than xmodem, it all depends on your communication software (on the
mac as well as on the unix machine). (I'm always using zmodem.)
