Syntax: getfile REMOTE-FILE-NAME [ LOCAL-FILE-NAME ] (LPmud-specific) This command gets a file from LPmud using the built-in editor ed to print it. What it does is basically to do these commands, plus the appropriate waiting when needed: system "mv LOCAL-FILE-NAME LOCAL-FILE-NAME.bak" ed REMOTE-FILE-NAME $= and, for each ten lines (with line numbers N to M) in the file, N,Mp and finally Q If the flag "show_receive" is true, all the text printed by the LPmud game while this is done is shown on the screen, which might sometimes be confusing. You can interrupt an active "/getfile" command by typing CTRL-C. See also: /putfile, /receive, /send, /source, show_receive
