[1;37mDOWNLOAD - [1;33mThis option allows transferring files from the BBS system 
to your computer.  There are a number of different methods of transferring 
files which are fully explained in the menu choice [1;37mFILE TRANSFER HELP.[1;33m
Following a request for download and entering a protocol you will be 
prompted for the name of the file (or files) to be sent by the BBS. 
When the BBS indicates it is "ready to send" you should begin your own 
local transfer procedures using the same protocol selected when the 
download was started.

You may download up to 50 files using internal batch protocols such as 
Ymodem, or up to 7 using external batch protocols.

[1;37mFILE TRANSFER HELP - [1;33mPresents a lengthy display file containing extensive 
information on various file transfer protocols available, including 
Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem, ASCII, and others.  It can give you help on 
what protocols are fastest, and which should be used in different 
situations.

[1;37mGOODBYE - [1;33mDisconnects you from the BBS and terminates your 
connection.

[1;37mHELP LEVEL - [1;33mAllows changing to EXPERT, REGULAR, or NOVICE 
level.  The NOVICE level is the default, and includes full menus and 
complete explanation of your choices at every prompt.  The REGULAR 
level does away with the full menus, but includes a command line with 
the menu name and available letter options.  Other prompts are also 
more abreviated.  The EXPERT level does away with all menu choices and 
simply indicates the menu title.  Most other system prompts are 
surpressed to the minimum required.

[1;37mINFORMATION ON A SPECIFIC FILE - [1;33mThis menu choice prompts you 
for the name of a file available on the system.  After entering the 
filename you are shown additional info regarding the person who 
uploaded the file, the last date it was accessed, whether a password is 
required, and the remaining information from the file listing command. 

[1;37mLIST AVAILABLE FILES - [1;33mThis is the menu choice used to view 
the files available for download from the BBS.  It presents a 
sub-prompt asking which file areas should be listed.  File areas may be 
selected alone or in groups; selecting B;C;E will list only files in 
areas B, C and E.  Multiple letters may be delimited with the semicolon 
(;) comma(,) or may be entered without any delimiter such as BCE.

[1;37mMESSAGE MENU - [1;33mPresents the message menu, without traversing 
through the main menu.

[1;37mNEW FILES SINCE LAST [N] - [1;33mDisplays a sub-prompt requesting 
the date to use as a basis for the search. The default date is the last 
time you used this particular option, not your last logon. A new user's 
search date is always set to "01/01/80". You can logon for weeks, even 
months, and providing the "N" option is not selected during a 
particular logon, the default date will not be changed. In addition to 
the automatic default date discussed above, you may manually enter any 
date from which to start a new files search, allowing a display of all 
files added since any date desired.

[1;37mQUIT TO THE MAIN MENU - [1;33mExits the FILE menu and returns to MAIN menu.

[1;37mREAD A TEXT FILE - [1;33mA sub-prompt requests the name of any 
ASCII file listed in the file database. The selected text file is 
displayed with appropriate screen pauses. Files which are obviously not 
in ASCII format such as .COM, .EXE, .ARC, .ZIP etc. are accepted at the 
sub-prompt, but a warning is issued that the file may be unreadable 
when displayed. 

[1;37mSTATISTICS - [1;33mStatistics presents you with a complete summary 
of file information for both the system as well as your own file 
database activity and limits. It includes number and size of uploads & 
downloads for today and since your first call, as well as your limits 
for your established security level.

[1;37mTEXT SEARCH - [1;33mWhen this choice is selected you are prompted 
for a series ofcharacters (string) to use as a search item. Prior to 
beginning the search you are further prompted for the specific file areas 
which should be subjected to the search. File areas may be entered 
without spaces, or the + key may be entered to indicate a search of all 
areas to which you have access. A search for the requested text is made 
covering the FILENAME.EXT, complete 2 line description and the name of 
the user who uploaded the file to the system.  This search is not 
case sensitive.  The more characters entered the narrower the 
search criterion.  For example, entering "txt" would find 
every occurrence of the characters "txt" in the file database, such 
as "MYTXT.OVL", "README.TXT", or "YOUR-TXT.ZIP".  This feature is a handy 
way of locating those files uploaded by a particular user. Simply enter 
a portion (or all) of a user's name at the prompt, and all of the files 
uploaded by that user will be displayed. 

[1;37mUPLOAD - [1;33mYou are prompted to:

1. Enter the transfer protocol and filename to be used.

2. Choose a file area in which to save the file, with a file 
area listing available by typing "?" at the prompt;

3. Asked whether the file should be password protected. If a file is 
password protected, another user must know the password in order to 
download the file. This includes the system operator when calling from a 
remote location. Used properly, this is a powerful option for 
confidential file transfers between users.

4. Enter a description of the file contents. Again, you are responsible 
to properly initiate the sending of the file on your end. Uploads using 
external file transfer protocols are allowed, but are limited to one 
file at a time.

[1;37mVIEW A COMPRESSED FILE - [1;33mThis selection is designed to allow viewing of a
compressed file saved in one of a number of formats such as .ARC,
.PAK, .ZIP, or .ZOO.  You are prompted for a valid filename and the 
contents of the compressed file are displayed.
