Does anyone have a way of writing files to an MS-DOS floppy on the 3B1
UNIX-PC by a UNIX command which would permit writing multiple
files at once rather than having to type the UNIX path name and MS-DOS 
name and type explicitly into a window for each file as the user agent 
procedure requires?  If you could just do one at a time by a UNIX com-
mand that'd be great, a shell script would do the rest.

I tried piping input to	the /usr/bin/md_write program used by the user
agent for MS-DOS write function but it uses the window driver which
sucked up my input (which had embedded control characters for the 
necessary RETURNs and ENTERs) and displayed it haphazardly in the 
first confirm window and waited there hopelessly.
