     For the actualy UL/DL commands, "%x" codes are used (like MCI).
     They are defined as follows:

          %A        Specifies the current baud rate, as a string of ASCII
                    digits ("300", "1200", "2400", etc.).

          %B        Specifies the Baud Rate at which the COM port is locked at.

          %C        Specifies the pathname of the main BBS directory.

          %F        Specifies the filename(s) to be transferred.  In the
                    case of a batch transfer, this MCI indicates the name
                    of the file list which contains the filenames of all the
                    files the user wants to receive.

          %N        Specifies the node # that the user is logged onto.

          %T        Specifies the name of the transfer result temporary log
                    file (defined in option 3.)

     The protocol codes must be typed in upper case.

          <CR>Redisplay screen -- Redisplays the menu.

          ([)Back entry -- Moves the pointer to the previous entry in the
               protocol list.

          (])Forward entry -- Moves the pointer to the next entry in the
               protocol list.

          (J)ump to entry -- This command moves the pointer to the user
               specified entry in the protocol list.

          (F)irst entry in list -- Moves the pointer to the first entry in
               the protocol list.

          (L)ast entry in list -- Moves the pointer to the last entry in
               the protocol list.

          (Q)uit and save -- Saves the current protocol list and returns to
               the main protocol editor menu.

     In addition, you can modify any of the entries shown on the screen.
     They are defined as:

          !    This option allows you to define the type and availability
               of the current protocol.  The available types are:

                    Single - The protocol will only transfer a single file.

                    Batch - The protocol will transfer multiple files with
                         one command.

                    Resume - The protocol will transfer one file, and
                         resume the transfer where it left off (if the
                         previous transfer was aborted).

          1    This option defines the command keys required to select the
               protocol and a description that will be displayed when
               requested.

          2    This option defines the ACS requirements that the user must have
               to use the protocol.

          3    This option defines the name of the file that holds the
               result log of a file transfer operation.

          4    This option defines the names of the permanent result log
               files for upload and download transfers.

          5    This option defines the commands required to perform file
               uploading and downloading.

               When pressed, you will be asked which command (upload or
               download) to define.  You are then asked which type of command
               it will be.  The four different command types are as follows:


                    (C)ommand -- The entry is assigned to a special
                         function.

                         Ascii -- The selected file will be transfered to
                              the remote user via ASCII transfer.

                         Batch -- The entry will not actually transfer a
                              file, but instead will add the file to the
                              batch transfer queue.

                         Next -- The selected file is skipped and the next
                              file is selected.

                         Edit -- The selected file's directory entry is edited
                              and the information can be changed.

                    (E)xternal -- Allows you to define the actual DOS
                         commandline used with the protocol driver.  Refer to
                         the above list to determine the correct commandline.

                    (O)ff -- Disables that particular function for the
                         protocol.

          6    This option toggles if the error result codes defined in option
               7 mean a good or bad transfer.

          7    This option defines the result codes (for both uploading and
               downloading) returned by the protocol driver after completing
               transmission of a file.

          E    This option defines the command that sets up an environment
               string for those programs that require environment variables to
               be set up in certain ways for a transfer log.  For example:
               "SET DSZLOG=%T" would set the DSZ.COM temporary result log
               filename to the name defined in option 3.  If no environment
               setup is necessary, this string should be set to NULL ("").

               *IMPORTANT*:   If you define a command with this option, make
                              sure to define it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE!

          I    This option defines the name of the file in which Renegade
               will store the filenames to be transferred in a batch
               transfer.

          C    This option defines the maximum number of characters allowed
               on the DOS commandline.  (Default is 128, which is the normal
               allowable DOS size.)

          P    This option defines the positions, on a single line of the
               temporary result log, of the filename and return status of the
               transfer.
