Can someone give me the proper command to retrieve images from a camera
using gphoto2?
I used it casually once before to see that it worked and now that I have
a few pictures I want it refuses to give me an image.
It will provide .ppm and .raw files apparently but the only ones that do
anything are the .ppm and all I get is some colored lines? I've gone
through man pages and whatever else I can find but I am not sure I'm
using the correct command to download the images from the camera.
Thanks.

What do you see when you issue the command:
gphoto2 -L
If you see the list of files on the camera, you can get a file:
gphoto2 --get-file 1 (to get file #1)
gphoto2 -P (to get all files)
I am having some problem with the latest version of gphoto2 (both FC5 and
FC6), so I rolled back to an earlier version.

Thank you, those commands were what I needed but I'm afraid the camera
is defective. It is just an inexpensive camera that was given to me,
most likely because it didn't work, although it did work when I first
tried it a couple of months ago? We have some others, I will try oner
of them tomorrow.
