I am assuming that you are talking about um-mts.cc.umich.edu, and that you
are trying to download Macintosh fonts in the PC2 directory, so here is how.

First change to PC2 directory by typing 'cd PC2:'
If the name of the file you are getting is 'FO/FONTNAME', then type
'get "FO/FONTNAME" fontname.hqx'
This will get the file 'FONTNAME' which is a binhexed font and call it
'fontname.hqx' on your system.
If you just type 'get "FO/FONTNAME"', it will try to stick 'FONTNAME'
into your current directory 'FO', calling it 'FONTNAME'.
NOTE:  You must use the " characters and the local file name, unless
       you have a directory called 'FO' on your system in the current
       working directory


               Mark.
