   This script when run from console will try to pull the MID you pass via   
   command line. It will create a new file with the same name and store the   
   entire post if found in it. To pass the MID you'd do this:   
      
   getmid 'MID with brackets' and it will save the message under the same name   
   as the MID in the current folder you ran the command from.   
      
      
   COPY BEGIN HERE   
   #!/bin/sh   
      
   MID="$1"   
   printf 'ARTICLE %s\r\n' "$MID" | nc -q 5 paganini.bofh.team 119 > "$MID.txt"   
   END COPY HERE   
      
   Save the contents as getmid.sh   
   give it execute permission either via right click GUI options or at console   
   with chmod:   
      
   chmod +x getmid.sh   
   then sudo cp getmid.sh /usr/bin/getmid   
      
   Now it's available to you no matter where you are in the folders. Open a   
   terminal, getmid 'MID' and you will have a locally saved file containing the   
   message if one was found.   
      
   Useful for when HK (Howard Knight) is down. This will also pull the entire   
   post where as HK is truncated after so many lines.
