Paul So, what you are suggesting goes something like the following perhaps:
/* REXX */ /**/ QUEUE "Userid" QUEUE "Password" QUEUE "CD /DIROFINTEREST" QUEUE "GET thefirstfile" QUEUE "QUIT" "FTP 123.456.78.9 (EXIT" SAY 'FTP OF 'thefirstfile' RETURN CODE=' RC /**/ QUEUE "Userid" QUEUE "Password" QUEUE "CD /DIROFINTEREST" QUEUE "GET thesecondfile" QUEUE "QUIT" "FTP 123.456.78.9 (EXIT" SAY 'FTP OF 'thesecondfile' RETURN CODE=' RC /**/ QUEUE "Userid" QUEUE "Password" QUEUE "CD /DIROFINTEREST" QUEUE "GET thethirdfile" QUEUE "QUIT" "FTP 123.456.78.9 (EXIT" SAY 'FTP OF 'thethirdfile' RETURN CODE=' RC /**/ and so on, which, if more extensive, clearly calls out for a looped structure - but I won't spoil Lucy's fun by trying to work that out for her!
