I've just run another test, and it looks like retrieval of a PDS member
works. The test system has a partitioned data set called
'PUBLIC.NFS.TARB' with many modules, including TELNETSE and MAKEFILE. The
former was brought into Lynx directly with:
./lynx -cfg lynx.cfg "ftp://epaibm.rtpnc.epa.gov/nfs.tarb(makefile)"
The quotes were necessary to protect the parens; escaping them with %29
and %28 didn't work for me. The time delay didn't happen in this case so
that seems related to building the ftp root file list.
Note: use the above file only as a test. It has copyrights in it.
