D)ownload: The "D" command is used to transfer data from RBBS-PC to your 
computer.  

The basic steps in downloading are

   (1) tell RBBS you want to download.
           (enter "D" at the command prompt)
   (2) tell RBBS exactly what file you want to download.
           (to the prompt "file(s) to download" enter the file
            name.  No drive letter, no path, no wildcards, just
            the file name with any extension)
   (3) tell RBBS what protocol you want to use.
           (RBBS will give you a list of options.  Selecting
            none cancels the download)
   (4) after RBBS says it is ready, tell your communications 
       package to save the incoming file USING THE SAME
       PROTOCOL
           (in QMODEM and PC-TALK the command is invoked
            by pressing the "PgDn" key or alt-R.  RBBS sits waiting
            while you talk to your communications package)

Tips: 
1. You should use the L)ist, N)ew, and S)earch commands to identify 
files that you would like to download.  

2. You can stack the "D" command with the file name. That is, you can 
enter "D;<filename> directly from the Files Menu. For example, you could 
type "d;keydo.exe" to start downloading the "keydo.exe" file.  The 
protocol you would like to use can also be stacked after the file name 
such as "d;keydo.exe;x".

3. You can stack multiple file names.  E.g. "D;SD.COM;FDATE.ARC;X"
downloads files SD.COM and FDATE.ARC, each using Xmodem.

4. AUTODOWNLOAD can save you the trouble of having the tell your
communications package to receive and what file name to use.  PIBTERM
3.25 up and EXEC PC-TALK 2.1 up support autodownloading.

         A Sample Session (as it looks on your screen)

Note: brackets explain things you do not see on your screen.  [<rtn>] means
that you pressed the return key.  This uses PC-TALK.

    File command <H?QX DGLNSU>? D[<rtn>]
    Enter full filename(s) to download? FASTDISK.ARC[<rtn>]
    Download type <A>scii, <X>modem, <C>rc xmodem, <N>one? X[<rtn>]

    Non-ascii transfer required
    FILE SIZE:  4 blocks  512 bytes
    Time to transmit:  8 secs
    XMODEM SEND of FASTDISK.ARC ready.  Ctrl-X aborts
    [Pgdn]
    File to receive: FASTDISK.ARC=X[<rtn>]
