That is interesting. I read your message and went to my other
window and called my FBB bbs k5di-3 via my other node, and set my login on
FBB to OP so it used no paging and sent myself a very long help file. It
came over just fine with no problems of any sort on the screen.

So the problem must be in the re-directing from standard input to
the file. I will try that next. But will need to read the man page on call
since I have never done a d/l from a pbbs. I AM a pbbs...:-)
