The situation was resolved through a suggestion from Russel Morison
[rzm_at_lighthill.maths.unsw.edu.au] whereby I created a script likeunto the
following:
ftp -n peanuts << EOF
user "doghouse\snoopy" *dogbone
cd there_dir
lcd my_dir
mget *
quit
EOF
Works quite nicely. I was not able to get a '.netrc' file to work as the
slash(es) kept disappearing.
My thanks again to ALL who replied with suggestions, hints, and
commiseration.
