1. Howard, did You notice a key on Your keyboard marked with something
   like "Carriage return", "Return" or the like?

2. An ftp site is a host on the usenet which runs an ftp deamon and
   allows other hosts (and especially users on those hosts) to access
   files on the local system.
   (Be aware that You'll need an account on such a host or the host has
   to provide an "anonymous" login to access specific files)

3. SIMTEL-20 has a host of cp/m software
