Our Unix system is accessed via a network that renders Macget/Macput useless,
so I have been using Red Ryder (aieeeee!  I haven't mailed him the check 
for it yet! If you're out there, I'll get it to you soon!) to download to the
Mac, then using Binhex on the result...it works just fine.  I haven't tried
to go the other direction.

Also, using MacTerminal's scroll features and doing a "cat" on the file, then
cutting everything and saving it to another file works, too.

I, too, wish I could us Macget and Macput.  I must confess that I haven't 
heard of MacLine...could you drop me a line and fill me in?  Thanks.
