!     ECHO open COMPUTER_NAME(or IP address)           >> FTPGET
!     ECHO USER USER_NAME             >> FTPGET
!     ECHO PWD                 >> FTPGET
!     ECHO cd !CRSLimitDIR         >> FTPGET
!     ECHO GET !FTPFile !MPEFile;REC=-303,1,F,ASCII;DISC=500000>> FTPGET
!     ECHO exit                    >> FTPGET
!     run ftp.arpa.sys < FTPGET
