Choose the option to save the file to the local disk, unless your
local computer is running a program that can handle Kermit or Zmodem
transfer. The "save to local disk" option will save the file to the
account you are logged into. Or, if you can use the Kermit or Zmodem
options, these will save the file to the computer you are using at the
time. If the file you are downloading has HTML in it, the HTML will
appear in the copy that is downloaded rather than being rendered.
