File Transfers
--------------
 
If you are in a room that ends with a "]", that means there are files
available for you to download, or there is room for you to upload.
Keep in mind that the files in this directory will be related to the
roomname.  If you wish to view the directory, type [1][RETURN] or
[R][D][RETURN] and you will be given a list of all the files in the
room along with their byte size.  If you wish to view descriptions
along with the filenames, type [2][RETURN] or [R][E][RETURN] and the
BBS will show you descriptions with the filenames and sizes.
 
In place of the [RETURN] option above, you can type in a filename, or
partial filename, including the use of wildcards (* or ?).  This
allows you to search for a specific file or groups of files instead of
listing the whole directory contents.
 
When you know the name of the file you wish to download, simply type
[D] at the room prompt, the BBS will then prompt you for a "Filename:"
after which type in the complete filename you wish to receive.  The
BBS will use your default transfer protocol (set up with [X] to change
your configuraton, then use [I] to change your protocol) and give you 
one more yes/no prompt so you can advise when you are ready.  After
typing [Y]es, simply tell your telecommunications software to download
with the same protocol, and you're in business.

Uploading is a little easier, you don't need to get a file directory,
just go to the room topic that matches your file.  Type [U] and the
BBS will prompt you for a filename to upload.  Enter the filename and
tell your telelcom program to send the file with your default protocl.

Remember, if you wish to use a different protocol than your default,
you must use the [X] command to change your configuration.  Once in
this menu type [I] to change your transfer protocl, then choose X, Y,
or Zmodem and exit this menu and download or upload with the new
default.  See the helpfile USEREDIT.
