       DOWNLOAD any/all games (active or completed) based on specific search
       criteria!

       The following information will first be displayed: 

          Search Options    Search Criteria       Description
          ================  ====================  =========================
          [D]ate........  : ALL                   date to start search

          [G]ame # Range  : ALL                   low/high game numbers
          [S]tatus......  : B                     Active/Completed/Both
          Format [1] [2]  : 1 CMReader            1=CMReader
                                                  2=Chessmaster 3000
          Set criteria,  then  [V]iew Stats
                           or  [R]eceive/Download Games

       Using the default settings, ALL games (active and completed) in the 
       current game area will be found when the V or R command is used.
       To narrow the field of search, specific information may be entered:

          [D]ate        :  Games with dates prior to that entered will be 
                           ignored. 
          [P]layer      :  A full name, first name or partial first name may 
                           be entered (i.e. by typing in JOH, all games 
                           matching the player name of JOH will be found -- 
                           this could be John Barley, Johann Sebastian, 
                           Johnathan Daniels, etc). 
          [G]ame # Range:  This would allow you to select a range of games 
                           or even a single game.  If single game, specify 
                           that game number for start and end. 
          [S]atus       :  Self-explanatory.  Completed, Active or Both. 
          Format [1] [2]:  ChessMAGIC! will compile the selected game files
                           in a format compatible with either CMReader
                           (default) or Chessmaster 3000.
                           Note: When importing to Chessmaster, use the
                                 coordinate move type.

       Use the above search criteria in any combination you wish to narrow 
       your field of search to specific game information. 
       
       The V and R commands will display the game statistics based on your
       specified search criteria.
       
       After choosing R (and seeing the games statistics), a list of transfer
       protocols specified by the Sysop will be displayed.  Choose one and
       ChessMAGIC! begins sending the requested games in a self-extracting
       archive.  The archive's game file members will be named according to
       the associated game numbers:
       
                12.txt
                23.txt
                36.txt
                ...etc. 
       
       Once these members are extracted on the user's end, the games may be 
       easily viewed/studied offline.  We suggest you download and use the 
       FREE program available on Decibel BBS as CMREAD11.EXE  (The
       ChessMAGIC! Offline Reader).
