      I need some help concerning the downloading of programs, news, etc. from
the Hewlett - Packard bulletin board in Massachussets. I know the basics of how
to download, but that's about it. When I attempt to download, I pick the file,
then pick kermit (as it says to do so) protocol. Here in lis my problem. The
bbs instructs me to enter a receive command from my base computer, as I am
telnetting to the bbs. I don't know what to do from here. If anyone knows e
how to download, please inform me, either by e-mail or a response to this post
here, as I constantly read this newsgroup.  I am using a mainframe account on
Penn State's VM and telnetting to the bbs.

                                             Thanks in advance,

                                                    Greg
