Wow, I never knew you could stack file names like that on an mget. I've
always done a single file with a wildcard and apparently I've always dropped
the results into the current directory on the receiving machine. This time
I was having trouble with BINTRP14.FILE so I tried it this way. Looks like
it worked by accident. :)
Thanks.

mget BINTRP14.FILE/STR00001*.mbr BINTRP14.FILE/STR00001*.mbr
Because you've asked for the same file pattern twice.
Whereas GET can take a target name, MGET does not.
MGET just takes one or more source patterns.
MGET is doing in the above example exactly what you told it to dy.
