Problem downloading from web

Hi, Thanks for reading my message. I'm having a problem downloading from 
the web. I don't have access to the web with my 5260 so I use my IBM for 
that.

Recently, I saw a program that I wanted for the mac so I downloaded 
straight to a floppy. I did save by holding shift while clicking on the 
file. I brought the floppy over to the mac and loaded the file. The mac 
tried to _view_ the file with acrobat. Of course, it wasn't an acrobat 
file.

I'm wondering if there's a way for me to download & transport the files 
to my mac from my IBM without this problem. I think that the IBM is 
writing the file to the floppy in the wrong format.

Any advice? Thanks in advance for your reply.

When replying, please email me directly instead of posting the reply 
to the newsgroups.
