[N]ew Files since last Logon:
_____________________________

    If you choose [N], you will be given a sub-menu:

    FILES - New [# - #], [A]ll, [U]pload, [Enter] = Upload

      [# - #]  =  This will be displayed as the number of file directories
                  available on the BBS (ie [1 - 20]).  By entering a specific
                  number, any new files in that directory will be displayed
                  to you. 

      [A]ll    = GAP will scan ALL the available file directories.

      [U]pload = GAP will scan only the upload directory.  If you choose
                 this option while in a Forum, you will be shown both the
                 main upload directory and the specific forum upload
                 directory (if available).

      [Enter]  = Gap will scan the Upload directory for new files


    After selecting which directories to scan, you will be asked for a
    starting date.  The date you LAST issued a NEW files listing will be
    shown as the default date.  You may change this date to any VALID
    date and GAP will use the date you entered instead of the default
    date.  If you change the date, it must be a valid date :

             MM/DD/YY


    After entering a date (or pressing return at the date prompt), 
    GAP will ask you if you wish to view the new files in Enhanced
    or Condensed mode.  The Enhanced listing shows the complete
    description of the file in addition to allowing you to view the
    archive contents and download.  The Condensed listing shows
    an abbreviated view of the files (1 file per line).
   
    Please note that GAP allows a caller to place a file into whatever
    directory the caller deems fit (based on sysop's discretion).  If
    you habitually scan only the upload directory, you may miss a great
    many uploads if the sysop allows callers to upload to specific
    directories.

    Commands may be stacked :

      To see all new files since the last time you issued the [N]ew
      command, type :

             N A S E    or    N A S C

      To see new files in directory 1 left since 02/06/88 type :

             N 1 04/15/89 E    or    N 1 04/15/89 E

      When using stacked commands, the 'S' means 'SINCE' and the date
      you last issued the [N]ew files command will be substitued for
      the 'S'.
