                          HELP ON DIRECTORY DOWNLOADS

This menu allows you to interact with a directory of files.  From this menu, 
you may download one or more files, perform file searches, and much more.  The 
following commands are available to you:

   U [filename]         Allows you to upload a single file.

   D [filelist]         Allows you to download one or more files.

   P [protocol]         Select or change the file transfer protocol you
                        wish to use during the download.

   N [date]             Search for files newer than a given date.

   L [string]           List files available for download, or search for
                        a particular file or file description fragment.

   <CR>                 Enter or Return key (Carriage Return) to exit
                        this prompt.

Here are the commands and their operation in detail.



                              U (UPLOAD) COMMAND

This command allows you to upload a file to the system.  Depending on
how the system is configured, this prompt may or may not appear.  If it
does, the file you upload may be placed in the current file area, or may
be placed elsewhere depending on system configuration.  Do not be alarmed
if you cannot locate the file you uploaded.  NOTE:  Batch (multiple file)
uploads are not allowed.

Command examples:

U FILE1.TXT

     Will upload a single file.




                             D (DOWNLOAD) COMMAND

This command allow you to download one or more files.  You may enter the 
letter D followed by one or more file names.  NOTE:  Multiple file downloads 
may not be allowed here.  If you attempt a multiple file download, and they 
are not allowed, you will receive an error message to this effect.

Command examples:

D FILE1.TXT

     Will download a single file.

D FILE1.TXT  FILE2.*  BE??.DOC

     Will download multiple files.  "Wildcards" may be used in file 
     specifications, or you may list the files you want to download
     separated by one or more spaces between each file name.  If more 
     than one file is selected, you must be using a protocol capable 
     of multi-file transfers, such as SEAlink or ZMODEM.

NOTE:  If you wish to download a file whose name does not include a file
extension, you should place a period at the end of the filename, like this:

D FOOBAR.

     Would download a file named "FOOBAR" from the system.


NOTE:  If byte and/or time limits are in effect, they are checked between each 
file transferred on a multi-file download.  The transfer will be halted at the 
point it would begin to exceed any of these limits.



                             P (PROTOCOL) COMMAND

This command will allow you to set a default download protocol or to change the 
protocol you wish to use for the remainder of this call. The first time you 
download a file, you will be asked for a protocol to use, and after that the 
same protocol will be used for each download for the remainder of this call.  
If you wish to avoid being asked for a protocol, or if you wish to change the 
protocol you have been using to a different one, then use this command.  You 
may use the letter of the protocol to select if you know it. 

Command examples:

P

     This command will produce a menu of protocols.  Select the one you wish to 
     use (or select the <Q>uit option if you don't want to select a new 
     default download protocol). 

P Z

     Will select ZMODEM protocol as the default without listing available
     protocols.




                              E (EXAMINE) COMMAND

This command allows you to obtain a directory of one or more files which are 
stored in a file archive.  It will produce a directory of the files and their 
date, time and original size which are contained in the specified archive.  
Many standards formats are supported by this command, including ARC, PAK and 
ZIP. 

Command examples:

E MYFILE.PAK

     Will produce a directory of the specified file.

E *.ARC

     Will produce a directory of all .ARC files.

E FILE1.ARC FILE2.ZIP

     Will produce a directory of both specified archives.



                             N (NEW FILES) COMMAND

This command allows listing of files posted which are newer than a given date.  
If the date is omitted, then the date of your last logon to the system is 
used.  The date is specified in the same format as it is shown in the file 
directory listing. 

Command examples:

N

     Lists all files with a date newer than that of your last logon.

N %DATE%

     Will list all files newer than %DATE%.



                            L (LIST FILES) COMMANDS

This command will produce a listing of files available to you in
this file directory.  If you use the command alone, then all files available 
will be listed.  You may optionally include a text fragment after the command.  
If you do, the listing will only show those files where the name or file 
description contains the text fragment you specified.  

NOTE:  If you specify a text fragment, it is literal - wildcards are NOT 
honored!

Command examples:

L

     List all files in the directory.

L MEM

     List all files where the fragment "mem" is contained in the file name
     or description.  Search strings may have any printable characters, and
     may include embedded spaces.  Searches are case insensitive, meaning
     that upper and lower case letters are considered the same.
