	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
