I have been using a mac now for several months.  I am a convert from a
MS-DOS based system.  I have gotten the mac to do everything the MS-DOS
system did and much more er...except for one thing.  When I upload to a
UNIX system my text files are at best unformatted.  At worst, total
garbage.  I am using Red Ryder 10.3.  My word processor is Fullwrite and I
am saving my files to ascii before sending.  When I monkey around with the
options I can get the files transferred but they appear to VI as a single,
very long, line and all formatting is gone.  Any ideas?  Get another DC(other
than RR) program?  Different format for upload files?  Settings on RR?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
