(D)ownload a File - Function Help
---------------------------------

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 the system being called to your
  machine.

  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:

  Filenames do not need to be typed in completely in order for the
  system to locate the desired file.  A default filename extension
  is usually provided by the Sysop such as ".ZIP" so that if you
  request a file called TEST it will first search to see if a
  file called TEST.ZIP can be located and if not it will search for
  TEST and send which ever file it finds.

  In some cases this default extension can make it difficult to
  download a desired file.  For instance, if both TEST and TEST.ZIP
  exist on the system then typing "D TEST" will always result in
  downloading TEST.ZIP.  To download the file called TEST in this
  instance you would need to type TEST followed by a period with
  no extension like this:

           D TEST.

  You may also locate files for download by using the * and ?
  wildcard characters - the same as those used by DOS to specify
  files.  See the examples below.


Batch
Downloads:

  Some protocols allow you to download more than one file at a
  time.  Examples of this are the Ymodem and Ymodem/G protocols.
  Downloading more than one file at a time requires that you select
  a batch protocol on both your end and the host end of the
  connection.

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

Examples:

   D TEST          - downloads TEST using the default protocol
   D TEST X        - downloads TEST using the Xmodem protocol
   D TEST1 TEST2 Y - downloads both TEST1 & TEST2 using Ymodem
   D TEST? G       - downloads both TEST1 & TEST2 using Ymodem/G
   D TEST*.*       - downloads any file starting with TESTx
