Jeff I suspect the reason why the download failed is because the filename you gave (JTB1:/CHEMES.LZH) is not a legal Amiga file name. By simply using CHEMES.LZH, the file downloaded to your current directory, which was clearly your AmigaTerm disk. You had the right idea, I think, but just got a little detail wrong. I assume you have a disk called "JTB1", which as your rightly typed, is given with a colon at the end. However, to specify a file in the root directory of this disk, you simply need to use JTB1:CHEMES.LZH … the slash is only used to separate directory names in a path. If, for instance, on your JTB1 disk, you had a directory called "downloads", you might use JTB1:downloads/CHEMES..LZH. In other words, logical device names, volume names, directory names and filenames are separated by either a colon (for volumes and devices) or a slash (directories and filenames) Hope this helps.
