Description:

  This command allows you to view a listing of the files available.
  After selecting (F), a listing of the file directories available
  will be shown - usually grouped by category.  To view one or more
  of the directory listing files, enter the number to view.
  Multiple listings can be viewed at the same time by entering
  several numbers at the same time.

  e.g.  F 1 2 10

  Also, a range of numbers can be entered be entered.

  e.g.  F 1 5-10 15-17

  By adding the (NS) non-stop parameter at the end of your request,
  the entire listing will be displayed with screen pauses every 23
  lines.

  You can use the (V)iew subcommand to view the files included in a
  compressed file listed in one of the directories.  If you elect
  to (D)ownload the file just (V)iewed, the filename of the Viewed
  file will automatically be carried forward as the download
  filename request unless over-ridden by you.
  Aditionally, you can request a download of a specific file from
  the (F)ile Subcommand prompt to avoid having to return to the
  main menu.

  Also, at any "More?" prompt shown while displaying a list of
  files available you can use the (F)lag command to flag a file
  for download.
