I am just a beginner, so 'listing to the termiinal' is something I
haven't come across. I didn't FTP the file to view it, but used the
"View file" facility in Fetch (I don't know if that would make any
difference to what I would see). If you want to see it, the file is at:
http://www.poppyrecords.co.uk/Payment/phpfiles/IYC519N1391274673.txt
I have written a bit of code to read the file, print it and then and
list each character with its ASCII equivlent. The original data was:
