     Erik,
        I have also experienced the opaqueness of using 'telnet'.
   It IS impossible to D/L or U/L directly with it. I work on both
   an D
~8IBM 3090 and a UNIX Workstation. I have not found a method of
   logging a session using the IBM 3090, but, using a command like:

              telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > session.log

   on the UNIX, you can get a log of the session, and after D/L using
   ASCII as the transfer protocol, you can edit the session.log file
   down to useful data. It's a real pain in the butt, but it's the only
   way I can see to do it! By the way, you can't U/L with this method.

                               Well, good luck,

                                        John Fitzgerald
