 To get "it" into byte-stream format I enter the shell and do:
 
 > cat /ACCT/GRP/MPEFILE >posixfile
 
But I agree with all the comments about "it's kludge time" or better yet
"miller time" depending upon how things are going.
 
I find it handy to set environment variables of paths I need to travel and
invoke the vars.  For example,
 
:showvar
 
CGISRC = cd /WWW/WWW/httpd_1.3/cgi-src
CGIBIN = cd /WWW/WWW/httpd_1.3/cgi-bin
LOGS = cd /WWW/WWW/httpd_1.3/logs
WWW = cd /WWW/WWW
GOARP = cd /WWW/WWW/ARPA/httpd_1.3/cgi-src
:
 
Then from the shell I type:
 
 $CGISRC
 
to change directories.
