First change to PC2 directory by typing 'cd PC2:' If the name of the file you are getting is 'FO/FONTNAME', then type 'get "FO/FONTNAME" fontname.hqx' This will get the file 'FONTNAME' which is a binhexed font and call it 'fontname.hqx' on your system. If you just type 'get "FO/FONTNAME"', it will try to stick 'FONTNAME' into your current directory 'FO', calling it 'FONTNAME'. NOTE: You must use the " characters and the local file name, unless you have a directory called 'FO' on your system in the current working directory Mark.
