    You need to use a downloading program to download it from your
host. Try the commands:

kermit, xmodem xm sz sb sx or such...or try to get man pages on them...

in any case your host should have a downloading program so ask your
sysprog what is availble there.

also YOU need to have a downloading prog....probably yer terminal emulater
has one....XMODEM is everywhere...zmodem or kermit are out there too
for the 8 bits...
