   ...which is, I can't seem to copy files from my UNIX account here
at school to my computer at home.  Admittedly, I'm not very good at this
sort of thing yet, but there must be an (easy) way that I haven't tried
to do this.  I have FLASH, and I've got a friend's copy of INTERLINK,
but no docs.  I tried logging on to my account, and using INTERLINK's
XMODEM option to 'RECEIVE' a file, but it keeps trying to do so from
my ATARI disk drive.  So, what's the mystery?
     Some helpful information: my account is on a UNIX-based system
(a SUN, to be precise), but I also have access to a VAX account, so
I could ftp to the VAX if transfer is easier there.  The VAX account
has its own phone number, but the SUN requires an extension.  Yes, I
have logged on from home, so I'm not completely hopeless (just marginally
incompetent).
