Help unix specialists, I am working on an SGI workstation. I am accessing 
the net by dialing via modem to a remote site. I am dialing to this 
remote site from my host workstation by using the "cu" command. 

So far so good. Now I want to download a file from my remote site to my 
host site using the cu command "take". When I execute the "take" command, 
trying to download I get the following message error:

 ~[sg1]%take README1 call tilda(%take README1) call _dopercen("take
README1") stty -echo;if test -r README1; then (echo '~>':README1;cat
README1;echo '~>'); else echo cant\'t open: README1; fi;stty echo Badly
placed ()'s. 

As you can see, I get this message about badly placed ()'s? what does 
this mean?

For your information also, I have been able to use the cu command "put" 
to place a file from my host site onto my net remote site without problems.

Can any of you help me solve this problem? I would greatly appreciate a 
response, or suggestions on what other download software I need to aquire 
for the SGI workstation.

Thanks Kindly:)
