Ask your computer services people about your local situation. Type: FTP KSUVXA.KENT.EDU (at your dollar sign prompt (VAX) or ready screen (IBM). If you are on another kind of system consult with your computer services people to find out the proper procedure for FTPing. When prompted for 'USERID' type ANONYMOUS your password will be your actual userid on your local machine. e.g. my address is LIBRK329@KSUVXA.KENT.EDU....so my password when FTPing is LIBRK329 FTPing causes files to be directly sent to your filelist or directory so their is no need to 'receive' them into your account space. --------- How to receive files sent to you by the LISTSERV into your e-mail reader: --------- If your e-mail address is on a VAX VMS machine, when you get a message that a file has arrived at your e-mail address....type "RECE *". This command will put the file into your directory. You can then type "TYPE file_name" to read the file. If your e-mail address is on an IBM VM CMS machine, either use your mailer front end or type RLIST and RECEIVE the file into your FLIST. Go into your FLIST to look at the file. If your e-mail address is on a different kind of machine OR you are using Profs or some other kind of similar mailing system....go ahead and try the above commands. If they do not work, CALL YOUR COMPUTER SERVICES OFFICE. The people there should be able to help you and/or hopefully give you a manual for your mailing system commands.
