As an addendum to this discussion, TP 6.0's IDE can handle files
up to 1M. Very handy since I tend to work with huge files (e.g.,
LaTeX.TeX and TeX.WEB although I haven't tried dealing with the
latter in the PC environment yet).

To change the discussion direction slightly, I've heard a lot of
people muttering about 6.0 being in some ways a step down from
5.5. Since I just came into the PC world and bought 6.0 because
it was on the shelves at Egghead, I'd be curious to hear in what
ways this is so.

            where DIRECTORY is the FTP directory (sans "anonymous") and 
            FILENAME is the filename, e.g. "send [tex]00readme.txt". There is
            a list of files in each directory under the name 00files.txt
            Binary files are not available by this technique.
