DOWNLOADING MAIL FROM SILVER XPRESS TO YOUR PC

   Downloading means SCAN for new mail, pack it up, and send it to your
   PC.  When you select this option, Silver Xpress will begin to scan
   your selected mail conferences for new mail. This is called the
   scanning process. When it is done, it will present you with the Flex
   Select option. With Flex Select, you can tell Silver Xpress "How much
   mail from the scan do you really want to receive". It's quite
   Flexible!  After you tell Silver Xpress how much mail you want (or
   you can simply tell it ALL or GO to get everything), Silver Xpress
   will begin to "bundle" the mail into a file with the extension OPX,
   for example, PITTX.OPX.  This file is called the XPRESS MAIL PACKET.
   When it has completed bundling the mail, it will begin to send the
   OPX file to you using the file transfer method you selected.

  DOWNLOADING THE SILVER XPRESS MAIL PACKET (OPX) FILE

  Right before Silver Xpress is to begin sending the OPX file to you, it
  will display something like this:

    
FILE: PITTX.OPX 22341 (3:34)
    Press [ENTER] download now, [G] Download/Goodbye  [ESC] Abort

  The number in the parathesis is the time it will approximately take to
  transfer the file. The 22341 is the size of the file.  At this point,
  you can hit the ENTER key to begin the transfer. When the transfer is
  done, the Silver Xpress main menu will be displayed again. If you simply
  want to download the file and hangup, you can hit the G key.  Please note
  the GOODBYE option is optional by the sysop, he may not choice to allow
  people to leave his BBS via Silver Xpress. If that is the case, you will
  not see this option.  If you want to abort the transfer you can simple
  hit ESC.
