Help on file area commands
Locating a file - You can use (F)ind descript to find a file description in
any file area. You can (L)ist files in the current area.
You can (S)can all dirs which will list all matches with
the string you enter including all wildcards.[*.*, tag??
tag??.??? or any combination allowed by dos]
Downloading a file - You use (D)ownload or (B)batch add depending
on if you wish to download more than one file. If
it cant find the file you want check the spelling to
insure it is spelled correctly.
You may also use the (F)lag or (D)ownload commands at the
command prompt while listing a file area.
Batch Downloads - To create a batch que for downloads(download more than one
file at a time you select [D]ownload and enter the name of
the file you want first. When it asks you for a "Protocol=?"
You can also use the [B]atch Add command, this works just
like the [D]ownload command except instead of asking for
a protocol it will send you back to the file menu. Remember
that these commands fully support wildcards!
Changing file areas - You have two options here, you may either type the number
of the file area you wish to go to ( found with the (A)rea
command which lists the name and number of all accessable
file areas ) or you may use the "[" and "]" keys which move
you to the next lower numbered and next higher numbered file
area respectively. Remember that on the better BBSs the
<???> tells you where the file is phically located.
<HDD>=Hard drives <CD?>=cdroms, there may be a delay
accessing a file from a cdrom.
Protocol Selection - The protocol listing might seem a bit overwhelming to
look at but they are all there for your convience. Which
one is best? Well thats a tough one, if your communication
program supports "Zmodem" then use that one, if not look
for "Ymodem" and last but not least there is "Xmodem"(the
slowest). If you want the absolute fastest and best I would
have to say "MPT". But that is an external protocol that
you will have to download and install yourself.
