John - the 860, if set-up for communications can send/rec ascii files from the word processor side of the machine. As far as sending CP/M files, I don't know. One gotcha on the WP files. Xerox screwed around with the proportional space handling on the 860. If you use proportional and justification, you can get one or two extra characters on a line (e.g., 72 on a 70 character line.). This really messes things up if you are trying to move a justified document from the 860 to another machine and edit it on the second machine. The easy way around this is dondon't use proportional space and justification on any document you want to transfer. Hope this helps. Jeff Edelheit (edelheit@mitre)
