You can append ;rec=-236,1,f,ascii;disc=1000000 or to the HP3000 target
filename at the end of your put statement on the UNIX box.

put /etc/hosts HOSTS;rec=-82,1,f,ascii;disc=2400

MPE will build the file with the correct recsize etc.

The defaults are held in a file called BLDPARMS.ARPA.SYS, but you can
override these as above.
