@Kirk, thanks. Not familiar at all with SFTP so did not know that /* mode=text 
was Co:Z specific. You guys don't seem to have any startup "banner" or anything 
that announces who you are. Come to think of it, I should have known it was 
Co:Z because //MVS.LEGACY.DATASET works.

I don't want text mode all the time -- just sometimes.

I am told Windows 11 has a good client. I will look into that.

Charles.
