Point-to-Point: Need help Downloading the Files



                 DOWNLOADING PROGRAM FILES USING POINT TO POINT:
                              TUTORIAL NEEDED
                 ==============================================

I have never yet managed to download program files using my software,
Point-to-Point.  Right now, I have several programs waiting for me
at the college internet computer.  These files are BINSCIIed and
Shrunk.  But how exactly do you use X-modem to get them onto a disk?

I have read and reread the Point-to-Point manual.  Its vague on some
procedures and I am missing something vital.  I realize that I must use
open-apple-3, and I can get to the screen that asks whether I want to
receive or transmit.  I realize that I must have a formatted Prodos
blank disk waiting in the drive to receive the program.  I realize that
I must know the e-mail number of the incoming file.  But the directions
beyond that point get fuzzy.

How do I tell the college computer to send that file to mine, and
how do I get it taken in?

The college has a UNIX system, which, I understand is a common
standard server.

Point-to-Point experts out there, tell me what to do!
