Well, I do it a little differently and it seems to work.  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.
