get commands

Dear friend

     I saw this in my mail
     -----------------------------------
DO NOT USE GET OR SEND FOR DOWNLOADING BINARY FILES, USE 
XGET INSTEAD.
   --------------------------------------
   
   But this command is not listed/explained in the
   help file.Could you please let me know the advantage
   of XGET over GET ? Please include this in the help file.
   
        with regards and best wishes
