- [R]..Check File Requests │ This function is used to check on the status of any
- │ offline files that you may have requested. You can
- │ then Mark the files for download or Remove them.
- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [E]....Edit Marked Files │ This function is used to edit the list of files in
- │ the download queue. This may be handy if you have

- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [I]...Info On File Areas │ This function is used to show a statistical report
- │ of All, or Current File Group(s) and File Areas. The
- │ report shows the number of files in each area, total
- │ number of Megabytes, and total downloads.
- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [A]..Create ALLFILES.ZIP │ This function is used to create a Master All Files
- │ list of All, or Tagged File Areas. This is useful
- │ if you are calling long distance and don't want to
- │ spend a lot of online time searching for a specific
- │ file. Do all of your file searching offline.
- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [D].....Download File(s) │ This function will first take you to the Marked
- │ Files List where you can add or removes files. You
- │ will be prompted to Continue, Add File(s), Remove
- │ File(s), or Quit. When you select Continue, you
- │ will be prompted to select a File Transfer Protocol.
- │ After you select the protocol you want, all of the
- │ files in the download queue will be sent.
- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [T]..........Text Search │ This function is used to search for a specific
- │ file by File Name, Description Keyword, or by File
- │ Date. Executing this function will display a full
- │ help screen complete with examples.
- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [C]....Change File Group │ This function is used when you want to select a
- │ new File Group. File Groups are CD's, Data Tapes,
- │ or groups of directories on the SysOp's Hard Disk.
- │ File Groups contain multiple File Areas. You will
- │ first be presented with a list of the available
- │ File Groups with their numeric assignments, name,
- │ and online staus. You simply type the area number,
- │ press <ENTER>, and you are in a new File Group.
- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [S].....Select File Area │ This function is used when you want to select a
- │ new File Area. This feature exactly like the File
- │ Group selection. The only difference is that you
- │ are only selecting areas rather than large groups.
- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [>]......Incr. File Area │ These functions are a compliment to the previous
- │ menu function. Using these keys make selecting
- [<]......Decr. File Area │ File Areas much simpler and faster. If you want
- │ to jump up to the next File Area, just press the
- │ > key. If you want to go back, just press <. You
- │ will notice the Current File Area line at the
- │ bottom of the screen change with every keypress.
- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [*].......Tag File Areas │ This function is probably one of the most useful
- │ ones you'll ever find in a BBS or a download door.
- │ You can Tag or Mark specific File Areas that you
- │ want to search for files in. This greatly speeds up
- │ file searches because you won't end up scanning all
- │ File Areas in every File Group. With this, you can
- │ search for the word DOOM in just the game related
- │ File Areas rather than all File Areas...One example.
- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [L]...........List Files │ This function is used to list or display the files
- │ in the current File Area.
- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [?]........DataDoor Help │ This is where you're at right now. Seriously folks,
- │ what did you expect this to say here? ;)
- ─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- [Q].....Quit Back To BBS │ This takes you back to the BBS menu that brought
- │ you to The DataDoor<tm>.
