This last option starts a direct download to my C=, but the "Save File to Disk" option downloads the file to some "mystery" computer, but I have no idea where it saves it to or how to access that saved file. If I can, indeed, access that file from this "mystery" computer, would it be possible for me to forward that file while the file is still in the "mystery" computer? Thank you in advance! :-) Please send your responses to craftyc@cris.com as I will be away from this email address for the 4th of July holiday. Chris, the mystery computer is the computer you're connected to. When on cris.com, just type "dir" from the directory listing and you will see the file. To download it with Ymodem, type "sb filename" (type the name of the actual file), press return and start your file transfer with your computer. Easy as pi. ;-) Cheers, Gaelyne ...
