Poking the I HATE EBCDIC bear? :)

When I wrote up some doc showing application programmers how to setup mainframe 
SSH keys, the example showed scp to transfer the text public key to the 
non-mainframe box.  It was less error-prone since the translation to ASCII was 
built in and (I think) impossible to turn off.
