Dennis if you are contacting an IBM BBS then choose the non graphic mode
ansii and yes you can upload and download.  Have the file you want to upload
ready then press f1 it will ask for the file name and it will upload it.  It
pauses for a few seconds and then you will see machine language characters
flowing across the upper half of the screen when it is finished it will
prompt you and return you to the BBS.
If you want to download have a formatted disk in the drive, press f3, again
supply the file name and it will send it to you letting you know when it is
finished.  Be careful with the underline in a file name you can't easily
reproduce it on the 64 so stay away from file names with that in it.
Remember that you can only use 64 stuff no point in downloading ibm files
they won't work.  One other way to do it is to use the buffer by loading the
file into the buffer and then sending the buffer to the BBS.  This is good
for text files but it has a memory limitation.  You can also use the buffer
to capture the material from the BBs, save it and view it later, but if you
don't save it to disk it will be lost.  Guess that's it for now.  Carol
