Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here.  Have I mis-
specified the creation parameters on the "buildparms?  Am I missing 
a keyword somewhere? The MPEiX FTP client is simply terminating 
without error yet no transfer is even attempted as far as I can 
detect.

Second question.  I am accustomed to using the construct 
!<localcmd> within ftp clients to run commands on the local 
machine.  Can anyone confirm that this functionality is absent from 
the MPEiX ftp client?  If it is then what command does one run from 
within the ftp client to list the contents of the present working 
directory on the HP3000 including those in the HFS namespace?
