Well, on the VAX I use for FTP (VMS 5.4, TWG FTP 5.01-1), the command GET <filename> TTY: works just fine.

The earlier post saying "GET <file> SYS$OUTPUT" is the correct thing to do and will work across packages. Or, for nicer output, find out whether you can spawn out of FTP (will of course be different for different TCP/IP packages). If so, get the file to a local directory, and spawn a TYPE/PAGE <file>.

It's very difficult indeed and usually involves me issuing the command "GET Readme" and then typing "CMS FLIST" to go and read it.

I would suggest from the FTP prompt typing help and see what happens. On some systems there is a 'TYPE' command which will get the remote file and display to the terminal. Not having access to an IBM running CMS, I can't tell you. There may not be an easy one step way. -Earle _____________________________________________________________________________ ____ ____ ___ Earle Ake /___ /___/ / / Science Applications International Corporation ____// / / /__ Dayton, Ohio ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: ake@dayton.saic.com uucp: dayvb!ake SPAN: 28284::ake
