RE downloading from a mainframe under PC PLUS, if'n it's an IBM MF under
VM/CMS or MVS, chances are it's only up/download protocol is Kermit. If so,
you'll have to invoke Kermit on the MF, (on our system, one just types
"kermit". Then issue command to "SEND (filename) (filetype)". No quotes
or parens, of course). Then you'll get a screen (from PCPlus) telling
you selct dl protocol (select kermit) . Maybe you have to press the
[PgDn] key to invoke - I forget.  Anyway, once the two kermits handshake,
(assuming they do) you're home free. When the dl is finished, the
file will be in your PCPlus directory. Once control is passed back to
the MF, you'll have to use an "EXIT" command to get out of kermit.

-- All this assumes kermit is on the mainframe. Probably it is; it's
the main file xfer protocol out there for mf/micro xfers.

it's been a while since I've used.
