File Handling Summary
---------------------
A directory room is distinguished by its prompt. A ']' or a ':' indicates
the current room is a directory room.
Getting lists of files:
For a list of available files in this room, including file comments:
<.R>ead <E>xtended [file-specs] [date-specs]
For a short listing of available files in this room:
<.R>ead <D>irectory [file-specs] [date-specs]
Modifiers for getting lists of files are <P>hrase (search the comment field
for the given phrase) and <G>lobal (read directories throughout the entire
system rather than just the current room).
Uploading files:
The basic format is
<.E>nter [protocol specifier] <F>ile
The various protocols ^nodetitle has available are in the help file named
PROTOCOL (see below); default is <X>modem. ^nodetitle may, at the option of
the sysop, check the integrity of your uploads if they are ARC, ZOO, ZIP, or
LZH files.
Downloading Files:
The basic format is
<.R>ead [protocol specifier] [<B>inaryfile or <T>extfile [<F>ormatted]]
The default protocol is ASCII. Use <B>inaryfile unless you have a good
reason to use <T>extfile, such as using its <F>ormatted option, when you want
to view a textfile with it formatted to your screen width.
%PROTOCOL What protocols are available?
