Hi, I have just got my first Mac -- a LC with 12" mono.  For the money I paid,
I am pretty happy with what I got.

The problem I have right now is that I cannot tranfer an executable from
DOS disk back to the Mac.  I downloaded binhex4.bin to my PC and put it on the
HD floppy.  Than I use the Apple File Exchanger in default mode to translate
that file into Mac format.  However, after the translation, the Mac always take
it as a document file.  Did I miss something?

I am new in the Mac world, any tips or tricks would be much appreciated.
