-----------
Please check the user's manual and distribution docs. Variable
\v(input) holds the most recent "line" from the INPUT and REINPUT
commands. We provide extensive parsing tools via the \f functions to
chop and dice that line to fit your situation, but you have to write the
instructions. Once you have picked out the interesting piece then it's
easy to WRITE FILE.
MSK does not provide FTP. FTP interfaces tend to run about 80KB
in size and that's a rather large lump of material to put into the program.
