THANKS and MORE Thanks -- but a new problem!

Thanks to all that answered my first query about MacTerminal and Word.

The consensus answer was that you couldn't double-click on the doc to 
open the transferred
document for editing.  You had to open the Word application, then open
the document from the File menu.  Yes, I was trying to double-click.
I solved the problem by putting MacTerminal, my MacTerm document, and
Word all on one diskette and then moving the documents there to be
edited.  That has worked.

To those that wanted to know the answer, that's the answer - and thanks to
all those that provided it.

Now I have a new problem.  I can't macget the edited file back to the
UNIX system.  I can macget an unedited file fine.

Command: macget -u
I select Send File from the File menu and name the file -- and the
percentage meter sits there with no response.  If I Cmnd-dot out of it,
the message says "No response from the system" -- I'm assuming that
refers to my Mac system.  But I get no response from the UNIX system
after the percentage meter disappears, even Ctrl-C and Ctrl-D and I
am forced to hang up to get out of it.

I have tried to send the edited file as a Text file and as a Text File
with Line Endings under Word and get no response in either case.

Now what am I doing wrong?  Something simple again?

Once again, please email to me (I got lots of responses) and I will post
the answer to the net.  There are others out there who said they wanted
to know too, but I want to minimize repetitious traffic in News.

ThankZve
