I am trying to upload text files to my Unix account.
My problem is: I run "rx <filename>" and send the text file from my
Mac IIci using Microphone.  When the Mac is done sending the file,
there is a file in my account directory called <filename>, but it
contains no text. (In fact, it's empty).  When I transfer the 
file as a MacBinary file, the file gets transferred but is not
really legible.  I want a text file so I can mail the file to
a friend who may not be able to download the file: he can just read
it on the net.

What am I doing wrong?  Is there a way to upload a MacBinary file and
then convert it to text so that it is readable?

Help.  :-&

Thanks in advance.

Jonathan
