Don: you don't have to type DISCARD 500 times.  The quickest way to
describe to shorten the task is to type = (just an equals sign) on all
lines but the first.  This repeats the last command (of course you type
DISCARD on the first line).  It will run much faster if you use
PURGE RDR / instead of DISCARD.

ggs: when FTPing, you should be able to use (replace) just the way it
says - perhaps you are having trouble with the conventions used to
describe command syntax.  The angle brackets < > are used to explain
the command - the parentheses are part of the command (in this case to
indicate an optional parameter).  So a real example of get with replace
would be:

get bernard3.gif bernard3.gif (replace

Actually a closing paren is OK too, but it is by convention rarely used.
Also in a case like this you don't need to specify the second name
as it's a valid CMS filename.  So

get bernard3.gif (replace

is fine.

You can erase a single file by typing (e.g.)

erase bernard3 gif

*without the dot* - CMS filenames have blank and not dot as the delimiter.

Hi gang,
   I have been off for a while, in large part because this mainframe is
a mess.  For the past two months, what it mostly does is crash.  It is
usually up for about 2 minutes top, before it crashes for ten minutes or
so.  When it is up, it is slow.  You try and read 200 messages a day with
a machine like that.  (I was going to say it is as slow as the Irish, but
I would never say a thing like that.)  It is slightly better behaved right
now, so I'm going to see how long I can stay on the list.  I hope you all
had a good holiday.

Not exactly--they are a missionary order; they have done work in this

You probably did, but not by direct email. I thought I mentioned the problems

The combined abh.in.england (17041) has now replaced the various short
pieces in docs/words-l/Travelogues.  It is probably still missing some
segments.  If you have any pieces of the abh story that are missing from
the file, please send them and I'll add them.  I grepped and vi'ed most
of the segments from the daily logs and very possibly missed some pieces.

Oh, yeah. Latkes are *perfect* with Sauerbraten, or any other
kind of pot roast, including pot-roasted chicken!

Oh NO!!!
You mean people keep track of all the weird things I ftp???  Feels like big
brother.  But then, I felt like that was what was happening when I was
asked to give my login as a password to get into all the anonymous accounts
I wander around in.  I figure it is 'Security' at work.  And the price I have
to pay to get all the lovely files I collect.
