Jeff, You are really close. Assuming that the disk you want to download to is named "JBT1:", you should use the filename "JBT1:CHEMES.LZH" — note that there is no slash ('/') character there. That's what caused your first problem. Do you know about 'archived' files? Most of the files we have in our libraries are archived, which you can tell by the suffix on the file name. For example, the file you want, CHEMES.LZH, is an archived file which needs the LHARC file to unarchive it before you can use it (that's what the .LZH suffix means). You can find LHARC in Library 5 here, as file name LHARC.EXE. This file is not archived, and can be run as downloaded. There's another file in Library 5 that is recommended if you're not familiar with the various archive programs. This file, ARCHLP.EXE, will provide you with a tutorial on how to use the archive programs. Highly recommended. Hope this helps…. …BobR
