1) A crude way to transfer files from PCs to your VAX (ie no error
checking) is to type
	$CREATE MYFILE
on the VAX, then send MYFILE from your PC using your communications
program. 

A better way is to use compatible communications programs on both ends
so you will get the benefit of an error checking protocol (ask your
system manager what is available on your system)

2)The parent directory of the current directory is [-]. 
All subdirectories (and subsubdirectories, etc.) of the current one can
be referred to as [...]. 
You can thus use [-...] to get all subdirectories of the current
directory's parent.
