Paul,

When using Sterm on CIS you're missing the boat if you're not using B protocol.
It's by far the most efficient protocol on this service.

It's built in to STERM ... no commands necessary. Enter the library of choice,
select a file to retrieve and type DOW. The two computers work out the details
by themselves asking you a couple of questions about protocol and transfer type
(ascii, binary, etc).

On the '-f' option you're correct. If you don't have a hard drive, you must be
transfering from a RAM disk.

Not to worry if you pick inadvertantly invoke the 'f' option. B proto is smart
enough to know when it's going up hill and drop down to Classic B when needed.

Steve
