Please email the response, if you have the time, as I'm still new and tend to get lost on the big net... :-( Anyway, I just downloaded a file and I can't seem to get it to work (it's application data, a GIF file). I think it is in ascii format and needs to be converted to binary. What do I need in order to make files I download from the Internet usable? Help! ::ack:: ::grateful mode in advance:: Thanks for any assistance anyone will provide. Randy Padawer Justin_Randall_Padawer@cup.portal.com
