D)ownload: The "D" command is used to transfer data 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. After RBBS-PC says it is ready, tell the communications software that
   you are using to receive the file using the SAME PROTOCOL that was
   selected in step 3.  Most packages will also ask you what file name
   to give to the file that it is receiving at this time.

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 Files Menu. For example, you could type
"d;keydo.exe" to start downloading the "keydo.exe" file.  The protocol you
would like to use can also be stacked after the file name such as
"d;keydo.exe;x".

3. You can stack multiple file names.  E.g. "D;SD.COM;FDATE.ARC;X"
downloads files SD.COM and FDATE.ARC, 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 log you off automatically after a successful
download by putting "/G" at the end of the request, e.g.
"d humongus.zip z /G" will download humonus.zip using zmodem and log
you off right after a successful download.
