	Thanks to all those who replied to my plea for help on
downloading things.  As I have said to some of you: what one
ought to know, and indeed once did know, is not always what one
knows NOW.
	INFO for example.  To ITS users, INFO is the natural
place to turn, IF you are not connected at 300 baud.  However,
to those out here at the bottom of an information well, INFO is
less useful than you might think, since it takes it a while to
tell you what strange name it put what you want to know under.
After you've seen the treetop about ten times you can get
discouraged...

	Anyway: thanks for the help.  Now if I can learn what
are stop bits and precisely what protocol I am supposed to use
for this, I'll get some files transferred yet!
