When you select mail forums or conferences, Xpress will place a star (*)
next to the mail conferences. If you see no star, you have no conferences
selected.
Xpress will now allow you to select some mail conferences.

Xpress will scan the selected mail conferences and gather all messages
available to you. During the scanning process, you will see a scan table
showing all available mail. It will wait for your next command.
Before Xpress sends your mail, it will "COMPRESS" all the available
messages, a file list and any bulletins the Sysop wishes to include into a
file called the Xpress Mail Packet. Compression reduces the size of the
mail packet, sometimes by 38-40 percent!
The compression method with the * next to it is your current method of
compression. If you wish to change it, type a new method letter.

The final step is sending the actual mail packet to you. Xpress will need
to know how you would like to do this using a file transfer protocol. They
are many file transfer protocols. One of the oldest is XMODEM. More recent
methods, like ZMODEM, are among the more reliable methods of sending you
mail. We recommend you select ZMODEM if your telecommunication program can
support it.
The file transfer method with the * next to it is your current method of
file transfer. If you wish to change it, type a new method letter.

You are now ready to begin XPRESSing yourself with the Silver Xpress Mail
System! You have:
[Yellow]1[White] - [Cyan]selected Mail Conferences to scan for new mail,
[Yellow]2[White] - [Cyan]selected a compression method to compress all the mail into 1 file,
[Yellow]3[White] - [Cyan]and you selected a method to send the mail file to your PC.
Now you are ready to begin using Xpress! Xpress has many options. Please
take the time in the future to explore these powerful options.
Xpress will begin to scan for mail now. When you the scanning is done, you
will see the [Yellow]Flex[cyan] command prompt. The simplest Flex command is to type [white]GO[cyan]
to pack up [white]ALL[cyan] the mail and send it to you. But you could type [white]D[cyan] for direct
mail only or [white]P[cyan] for direct and keywords. When you get the time, study the
Flex command system.
Enjoy! We hope the Xpress Assistant <tm> was of help to you.
