[Some comments]

   Ok, try this revision to that paragraph:

3C) From email or comp.binaries.apple2, the files are pretty much
always in BINSCII format, so you do not need to worry about binary
downloading.  Simply save the email or news articles to disk (most
things do have multiple parts, so be sure to get all of them), and
download that to your Apple II. You can keep the posts as separate
files, no need to paste them all together when saving or downloading.
For a multiple part binscii file, the order in which you unpack them
does not matter as long as you unpack every part.

   I'll probably have another revision (i.e. adding another 100 lines
or more :) out for comments in another day or so, once I add more
detail in the sections I want to add.
