Lines: 45 I need help on using the take command on my 3B2/300 computer. I am having two problems with using take: 1. It would halt there until I press the DELETE key. 2. It would add extra two lines at the end of the file being transfered. Here is the outcome on the screen. The tee file has three lines. The first line has 41 "t" characters and the second and the third lines have 41 "e" characters in each line. Outcomes on the screen:(YYY% is the remotor machine's prompt and XXX is the name of the local 3B2/300 computer) YYY%~[XXX]%take tee tee stty -echo;test -r tee&&(echo '~>':tee;cat tee;echo '~>');stty echo ~>:tee **** I pressed the DELETE key **** File tranmission interrupted + ~> 4 lines/141 characters ';mesg y;sttUnmatched '.
