 (U)pload a File
 ---------------

 Subcommands:  (filename 1) (filename 2) (filename 3) (protocol) (gb or bye)

               (filename) any valid DOS filename may be used and more than
                          one filename may be entered if you choose to use a
                          BATCH protocol for the file transfer

               (protocol) is a letter from A-Z of the protocol desired
                          based on the protocols available

               (gb)       Either (gb) or (bye) may be entered on the command
               (bye)      line to indicate that you want the system to hang up
                          after it finishes the file transfer

 Description:  Allows transferring a file from your machine to the host
               system.

               There can be up to 26 different types of protocols available.
               If you have not previously set a default protocol for the
               system you are calling, you will be asked for the protocol
               type each time you request a download.

               Ascii protocol transfers are only available on non-binary
               text files.  Filenames which have extensions of .EXE, .ARC,
               .COM, .WKS, etc.  can not be downloaded using Ascii protocol.

               Due to the wide range of protocols now available, it is
               suggested you check with the Sysop of this system if you have
               a question on which protocols have been implemented and how to
               properly set your software protocols to match those of this
               system.

 Selecting
 Files:        Unlike downloading a filename must be specified exactly as you
               intend to send it.  In other words, if you type the word
               "TEST" then the name of the file when posted will be called
               "TEST" with no other extension added to it.

               After giving the system one or more filenames to be uploaded
               it will ask you for a description of each file.  Your
               description can be up to 8 lines long of 45 characters each.
               If you wish to make a particular file PRIVATE so that it is
               not posted in the public upload directory you simply place a
               "/" at the beginning of the first line of text in your
               description.

 Batch
 Uploads:      When uploading a batch of files you must enter at least ONE
               filename even if it is a dummy filename.  Then on your end
               you simply tell your software to send all of the desired
               files.  Any files that are received which you did not specify
               originally will then be brought up on the screen with the
               system asking you to describe each of them.

               To send more than one file you must either enter (UB) as your
               upload command or on the command line simply type more than
               one filename.  See the examples below.

 Examples:     U TEST          - uploads TEST using the default protocol
               U TEST X        - uploads TEST using the Xmodem protocol
               U TEST1 TEST2 Y - uploads both TEST1 & TEST2
                                  using Ymodem/BATCH
