Hi,

I read in the handbook that if I ftp to the usr.bin
directory in the source tree and then initiate the
command 

get lex.tar

that the entire source tree will end up on my machine
as a tarball. Do I understand this correctly? Can
someone explain this a little more to me. I looked at
the ftp man page and it didn't say much about what is
going on here. Thanks for all your help.

Wayne
