TIP from Keith Bennett (after Krol.E. 1992. The Whole Internet. O'Reilly and Associates). On some multi-tasking unix systems typing:
get filename - or get filename "| more"
will let you browse a text file on line at the ftp site.
[Filename - scrolls through the document; use <Pause> key to stop the scrolling. Filename "| more" shows a screen page at a time. Press <space> key to continue. These techniques work from our unix system, but not if I run telnet (DOS version) from my PC, Ed.]
