If you've gotten this far, here's a tip on reading files while in an ftp session: say you want to read a file named "README" before you download it. at the prompt, for example, ftp>, type this: get README |more You will see the file (ascii, obviously) scroll on your monitor one page at a time. Happy navigating! btw, this may differ if you use ncftp; i have not tried it out with that. ____ John S.
