Your pad MAY have a facility to save its output in a file. At least some versions of pad allow the user to break in (<CTRL-P>,a is the usual keystroke combination). At this point you type "s file" and all subsequent host output is copied to "file". Check your documentation and/or try "help" from the pad prompt. Problems: Only works for Ascii (7-bit text) files. It is no real substitute for proper file transfer (Harald's suggestion of running ISODE's FTAM is better). Facility may not exist. Good luck, Adam
