Sethost has a text upload/download feature with CTRL-F1 and Shift-F1.
To send a text file, prepare Ultrix to receive a file by typing:

	cat > foo.text

Then transmit the file with Shift-F1 (you will be prompted for a DOS
pathname).   To transmit binary files this way, you must first
uuencode them.

To retrieve text file from Ultrix to the PC, start the Receive File
feature with CTRL-F1 and then just cat out the file on Ultrix.  When
the transmission is done, toggle the CTRL-F1 off.  You may need to
edit out a gratuitous shell prompt at the beginning or end of a file
transmitted this way.
