File Command D - Download Files.

This command is used to transfer files from RBBS-PC to your computer.  The
basic steps in downloading are

1.  Tell RBBS-PC that you want to download by entering "D" at the command
    prompt.

2.  Tell RBBS-PC exactly what file you want to download by entering the
    file name at the prompt "file(s) to download".  No drive letter, no
    path, no wildcards, just the file name without any extension is all
    that is required.

3.  Tell RBBS-PC what protocol you want to use.  RBBS-PC will give you a
    list of available protocols for file transfer.  Selecting none cancels
    the download.

4.  When RBBS-PC says it is ready, use the proper commands on your
    communications program to download the incoming file USING THE SAME
    PROTOCOL (on mnany communications programs, download is invoked by
    pressing the "PgDn" key.) RBBS-PC will wait for your communications
    program to respond.

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 Library Menu.  For example, you
    could type "D RBBS-PC.ZIP" to start downloading the file RBBS-PC.ZIP.
    The protocol you would like to use can also be stacked after the file
    name such as "D RBBS-PC.ZIP X" for Xmodem download.

3.  You can stack multiple file names.  E.g.  "D RBBS-PC.ZIP ABC.ZIP X"
    downloads files RBBS-PC.ZIP and ABC.ZIP, 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.

5.  You can request that RBBS-PC log you off automatically after a successful
    download by putting "/G" at the end of the request.
    E.g.  "D RBBS-PC.ZIP Z /G" will download RBBS-PC.ZIP using Zmodem,
    then log-off right after a successful download.
