Maybe this will help until the real problem if figured out. 1. Using MacTerminal, I log into my host. There is a binhex file there that contains the program I want. 2. I type "macput -u". Connection is made and it downloads. 3. Once the text file is on my Mac, I use Binhex and STuffit to get the application(s) and documentation. Jeffrey A.
