If you are downloading much from MWC BBS, especially files which are split,
a useful thing to download is "mwdl.tar.Z" from the "downloads" directory.
It is a small shell/awk script which generates the download requests for you, 
helping to eliminate typing mistakes, etc.  In order for it to work, you'll
need the updated "awk" from the BBS.  Also, when it prompts you for the 
"subdirectory", don't include the "download" subdirectory (i.e. it is asking
for the rest of the path following "download".
