Don't forget the trailing ':' - you should say "cd pc7:" instead.

For all you folks on bitnet, I'm almost ready to test bitnet file service.
If you want to see the proposed setup, send a message to
	PC7-ARCH@umichum.bitnet
In the text of the message, say "index" to get a list of the file names,
(with mod times and approximate sizes) and "info" for a blurb on how I
expect things to operate. There should only be one keyword per line of
the message. You will get the "info" file sent back to you if there is
any extraneous text. (The software only looks for two keywords, and spews
the info file if neither are found...) As such, make sure you don't have
signatures tagging onto your messages...

As I said, this isn't ready for real production yet. You can try the "get"
command, but don't be disappointed if nothing comes back. I will post
another announcement when all seems to be working...
