The standard way I use sumex is to download the latest technical notes.
The way I do the download is to use FTP. If you in fact have FTP on your
home system, you can proceed more or less as follows:
run ftp
connect to sumex.stanford.edu
login as "anonymous" - sumex will ask for your user name as a password
cd to info-mac - this is the top-level directory for mac stuff on sumex
examine the contents of directories with dir or ls
you'll see some readme* files in info-mac - use ftp to "get" them
use "bye" or "quit" to exit ftp
read the files for more info...
That's about it...
