forgive me for this novice question, but where do i go (or what do 
I do) to learn how to ftp the Xhp. I assume i set to binary mode
and do a simple get. Then what? I know tar.Z. are ways the files
are compressed, but how do i get them in normal file/directory
form. Thanks for any help and e-mail answers are preferred since
this has probbaly already been said onthe net.
