Charles,
I tried your suggestion and it was an excellent one. I was able to download
the pds.
Thanks to all for responding.

You can get help on these sub-commands by entering help commandname from
within FTP.
The "other" FTP programs tend to be more graphical and Windows-like. If you
will be doing this often, one of these would be a good investment of your
time. You may have firewall issues on your mainframe that the Windows FTP
client cannot solve, but the third-party clients can. One decent Windows FTP
client is Ipswitch WS_FTP. The lite version was free, last I knew. Google
knows where to find it.
