Read the READ.ME files carefully!  Notice that the sample commands for
getting files always look like get <DIR/FILE> <filename> e.g. get
DO/DOWNLOAD2 download.txt.  For some reason (probably because the
machine is running VMS?) you MUST give a local filename as well.

(I've posted this because other may have had the same problems.  Mike
Dauterman, if you read this, you might want to ammend the DOWNLOAD2
file accordingly.  Most people on UNIX systems just assume that you
don't need a local filename)
