There are a couple of ways to do this but I will give you the easiest
way.

1) Download unconverted (ie text) files using kermit on the host side.
   Use a comm. package that supports kermit on your side.

2) Edit the text file in Mac(whatever).  Remove all text above '(Th....'
   remove all text in between parts if applicable.  Save document as
   text only.

3) Use stuffit.  First use the decode binhex menu option this will
convert you text file into an application or stuffit achive.


Knock yourself out!!!!
