Thank you all for your sugestions:-)

I have now solved the problem (that never was) :-(

to explain I wanted to write the script files and save them on my PIII
so first i wrote a file on the Fluke. and downloaded it to the PIII but in
reading
the manual I used the option AUX/IF then PROG this lists the programs stored
in flukes memory to the RS232 port and any device conected to it (eg a printer)
or to a file. As it says---- it LISTS it ---as an ascii stream.The problem
with this is
when you go to upload the file back into the fluke it is in the wrong
format!!!!!
Silly me I should have read further (somehow I never did get on with
manuals :-() )
the answer is to use the AUX/if then SAVE commands it then saves it to the PIII
in a format that can be uploaded. the downside is you cannot use the PIII
to write the script file in the first place. still you can't win them all
and I'm glad to have a safe way of storing
the files (Don't like the idea of only having them on cassette as they are
not reliable in
my opinion).

thanks again to all who helped.
