- Be sure to check if all modes are set correctly (especially 'bin')!
- stat [CR] or; status [CR] will show all modes and where you are connected.
- Most files are compressed. Use an appropriate program on your computer on which the programs
  were intended, or in UNIX .......
- uncompress [CR] if ".Z" file
- uudecode [CR] if ".uu" file
- very often, files are still compressed in another format after uncompressing .Z and/or .uu.
  Use the appropriate uncompress program for this.
- ls [CR] lists files (shows all files in current directory).
- pwd [CR] shows path.  i.e.  /pub/mirrors/umich/atari/utilities     
- If down-loading several files with similar names use "*".
    i.e.   "mget *sys" [CR]  (will get f.x.; datasys, lm23isys, xlinksys etc...)
    i.e.   "mget *.lzh" [CR] (will get f.x.; stest.lzh, dw3.lzh, xlba.lzh etc...)
    i.e.   "mget * [CR]  (will get ALL files in the current directory!)
- If your computer doesn't have a disk drive you can "remote login" to another computer (use an
  other terminal's disk drive);
- rlogin {computer name} [CR].    i.e.  "rlogin hnoss" [CR].
- You can now access the disk just as if it was on your own machine.
- eject [CR] to eject disk on disk-drives without "eject button"

- fdformat -d [CR] to format an MS-DOS 3.5" 1.44mMb disk ("-d" for MS-DOS)
- fdformat -l -d [CR] to format an MS-DOS 720Kb 3.5" disk ("-l" for "low density")
- mcopy a:{filename on disk} {copy filename} [CR] to get a file from disk to computer.
