@X0F              @X0C(filename/wildcard)@X0B is the filename to scan for
@X0F              @X0C(A) @X0Bscans all available file directories
@X0F              @X0C(D) @X0Bdownload all files found

@X0F              @X0C(NS)@X0B displays listing in non-stop mode

@X0FDescription:  @X0BAllows you to search the file directory listings for filenames
@X0F              @X0Bwhich match those you are looking for.  You can also use
@X0F              @X0Bvalid DOS wildcards in your filename request if you are unsure
@X0F              @X0Bof the exact filename you are looking for.

@X0FExamples:     @X0EL TEST A      @X0B - search all directories for a file called TEST
@X0F              @X0EL TEST*.* A   @X0B - search all for any file beginning with TEST
@X0F              @X0EL TEST A D    @X0B - find TEST and download it
@X0F              @X0EL TEST*.* U   @X0B - find TEST*.* in the UPLOAD directory
@X0F              @X0EL TEST*.* N A @X0B - find only new files matching TEST*.*

@X0F              Other examples of wildcards:  @X0ETEST?  TEST?.ZIP  ??TEST.*

@X0BNOTE:  If the filename is less than 8 characters long and no wildcards have
@X0Bbeen used it automatically appends "*.*" to the name (i.e. searching for TEST
@X0Bturns into TEST*.*).

@X0BIf an invalid file is requested it will automatically switch to a Z)ippy search
@X0Bcommand
