Description: '
Jonl first ran accross this problem trying to COPYFILE something from <lispcore>library> to <lisp>library>.  Lisp asks you for the connect password for lisp, and then it breaks with "FILE WON''T OPEN': {phylum}<lisp>...".  This is very strange because you can MAKEFILE to the directory (after giving the password).  Perhaps COPYFILE is not passing the password info correctly?'

'
     There is no way to PUPFTP to <LISP> from MAXC.  COPYFILE & RENAMEFILE'
to <LISP> do not seem to work, even if you give the password, and there'
is no remembering of the password you give.  The only way to get anything'
done is by CHATing to PHYLUM and going through 3 times as many motions as'
normal plus knowing or being able to find the right password.'
