I'm on a system with PINE, and the version on this system allows for
EXPORTING files to the local system. Since we do not have user
directories, the Export commmand brings up a download menu. I can then
request a TEXT file transfer. I get the message, "Text flow begins in 5
seconds", which is plenty of time to start the capture buffer. The text
is then flowed in instead of painted in, therefore it captures just fine.
Actually, I like the non-scrolling tactic used by PINE. When I was
running on an unenhanced ][e, I would lose characters (in Kermit-65)
whenever the screen scrolled. By using a program that didn't scroll
(PINE), I didn't lose characters at 2400 baud 8-)
