I am new to the world of reading news, and I have a pressing question.
I do not know how to use the files which are posted in this section
or newsgroup comp.binaries.apple2

They are posted, but how do I download them to my disk, and then how
do I cut them where it says cut, and use them on my Apple2GS???

Also, if I encounter a good program on an ftp site, how do I get 
that downloaded onto my Apple2GS ProDos disk, and get it to
run.  What is ShrinkIT???  Where do I get it from?? What other programs
do I need to get these files to work??
