I'm not sure if everyone knows this, but you can use Netscape to
easily transfer files back and forth between your DIMACS account and
your own computer by pointing Netscape to the URL

ftp://username@dimacs.rutgers.edu/a/lunar/u2/username/

where both "username"'s should be replaced by your actual DIMACS
account name. You can even bookmark this address for easy access!

* To download a file, hold the right (or only) mouse button over
its link and choose "Save" from the menu.

* To upload a file, go to the dimacs directory you want to place
it in and select "Upload File" from Netscape's "File" menu
(this will let you choose a file from your computer to upload).
