F)iles: The "F" command takes you to the Files System. Files are
collections of text, programs, graphics, data bases, and other types of
information stored in digital form. The Files System allows you to upload
and download. Uploading is the sending of files from your computer system
to RBBS-PC. Downloading is the transfer of files from RBBS-PC to your
computer's memory, diskette, or printer.
TIPS:
1. RBBS-PC is built on the ideal that we will learn and help one another.
You are strongly encouraged to upload files that you believe will be of
value to other users.
2. You should use the L)ist, N)ew, and S)earch commands to look for files
that you would like to download after you enter the Files System.
3. Files can be sent across phone lines at very rapid rates. Three hundred
baud (baud is a measure of transmission speed) modems transmit
approximately 30 characters per second, 1200 baud modems transmit at 120
characters per second, and 2400 baud modems transmit at 240 characters per
second.
