Mike -

A CIS Guru question for you, sir:

Occasionally at work, I need to download a file to the Unix machine (usually a
binary). I need to override my default 'B Plus' protocol setting and use
Kermit. If I type:

 DOW/PROTO: KERMIT

It complains of an unknown protocol (harumph). I end up popping over to DEFALT
and requesting a protocol selection of SHOW MENU for that session (could just
as well hard select Kermit at that point).

Am I missing a trick here, or is the PROTO option braindead?

Pete
