    1. In this example, the PUT/FDL command does the following:

       o  Creates the FDL file cygnet.bckfdl on the remote host with
          the RMS attributes of file STAT.BCK.

       o  Transfers the data in STAT.BCK and puts it in to
          cygnet.bckfdl on the remote host.

 In this final example, the GET/FDL command does the following:

       o  Transfers the FDL file cygnet.bckfdl from the remote host
          to the local host.

       o  Uses this file to re-create the file STAT.BCK, with all of
          its original RMS attributes, on the local host.

       o  Transfers the data in cygnet.bck and puts it in to the new
          local file STAT.BCK.
