I am sory I must have explained wrong. 
I will try to elaborate my problem more :
I was able to find the command but the problem is that 
if I type 
$ uudecode filename
then I get the prompt back I dont know if the file has been uudecoded or
not if it is then according to the man page I was suppossed to see it the
user's working directory.

So i see the file there with same name and if I want o view it with vi 
I see the binaries only, nothing else.
I dont know if I am doing it right or not.

Please help.

Thanks 

Jahanur
