AHA!!! I was right!!! The fragment you put up tells us a couple of things! First, lines are terminated with a SINGLE Line Feed character…which is probably not acceptable to CIS in a text file. Maxiterm, et al, will have to have their XMODEM modified to replace the line feed character with a cr/lf combination during upload. The other fact is that the file was uploaded as BINARY (or CIS switched it to binary because of no line terminators!). Folks with MAXITERM **should** be able to download using Binary from cis and it would work. The appropriate download command would be: dow file.bas/proto=x/type=bin For those of us who don't have an xmodem protocol on our amigas, there is a way to download binary files as text. What you get is the hex version of the file just as you typed it. Then you run the hex version through a conversion program to derive the useable text for the Amiga. The program that does this is available on one of the other sigs…I'll see if I can upload it to this sig (it's in generic basic and should be possible to convert to Abasic).
