To use a PDF file you need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer. If you download a PDF file and see a text icon instead of an Acrobat icon, you will need to configure Fetch to recognize PDF files. Type .pdf in the Suffix field. This is a quick way to read information contained in read.me and .message files. Fetch will display the selected text file in a separate window.
Text files can end with the suffix .txt or .doc.
To view a text file Select the text file you want to view. The file is displayed in a separate window on your desktop. When you have finished reading the file, close the window to return to Fetch. The Get File command is used to transfer files to your machine. To transfer a file from the server to your workstation Start Fetch and then connect to a host from the File menu or from the Shortcuts menu.
