I did not know this. Now I do. Thank you.

No offense taken Unknown, but here is why --More lines appear in my
files:
 - the telecom program I use on The World (pub. unix site)
   is SnowTerm, which does not have downloading abilities yet.
 - I do not have large amounts of disk space allocated to my
   account to store programs, then CAT them.
 - I buffer the comp.sources.apple2 message as it is being
   displayed on the screen.

As soon as Mr. Snow adds protocols, I will probably download the
files, assuming they fit onto my diskspace. Until then,...
