    This is a funny situation, well at least for me anyway.  When I FTP 
ab20 and want to read the "readme" files the command "quote xcat <filename>"
works great (also "quote stat <archive name>" will let you look at the files
contained inside the archive).  Anyway, AB20 is the only site that this seems
to work on.  I don't know why, but that's the way it is.  It's a great feature
and I wish it worked on all sites but that's life..  Anyone know what the 
story is??  Be Seeing You...
