D)ownload: The "D" command is used to transfer data from a Library drive
attached to RBBS-PC to your computer.

The basic steps in downloading are

   (1) tell RBBS you want to change Library area.
           (enter "C" at the command prompt)

   (2) tell RBBS which Library disk you want to be active.
           (enter 1 to 4 digit Library disk number)

       NOTE: For entire disk downloads use the Library disk number
             specified in directory 200.  For single file downloads
             use the Library disk number specified in columns 77-79
             of the category level directories.

   (3) if you want and entire disk from the Library drive then
       tell RBBS you want to archive a Library disk.
           (enter "A" at the command prompt)

   (4) RBBS will archive the "ACTIVE" Library disk and inform you
       that it is ready for transmission.

   (5) tell RBBS you want to download.
           (enter "D" at the command prompt)

   (6) tell RBBS exactly what file you want to download.
           (to the prompt "file(s) to download" enter the file
            name.  No drive letter, no path, no wildcards, just
            the file name with any extension)

       To download entire Library disks (they must have been ARCx'd
       first) use DKxxx.ARC (where xxx is the disk number) as the
       file name.

   (7) tell RBBS what protocol you want to use.
           (RBBS will give you a list of options.  Selecting
            none cancels the download)

   (8) after RBBS says it is ready, tell your communications
       package to save the incoming file USING THE SAME
       PROTOCOL
           (in QMODEM and PC-TALK the command is invoked
            by pressing the "PgDn" key or alt-R.  RBBS sits waiting
            while you talk to your communications package)

Tips:
1. You should use the L)ist and S)earch commands to identify
files that you would like to download.  Be sure to identify the
correct Library disk located in columns 77-79 of the category
level directories.

2. You can stack the "D" command with the file name. That is, you can
enter "D;<filename> directly from the Library Menu. For example, you could
type "d;keydo.exe" to start downloading the "keydo.exe" file.  The
protocol you would like to use can also be stacked after the file name
such as "d;keydo.exe;x".

3. You can stack multiple file names.  E.g. "D;SD.COM;FDATE.ARC;X"
downloads files SD.COM and FDATE.ARC, each using Xmodem.

4. AUTODOWNLOAD can save you the trouble of having the tell your
communications package to receive and what file name to use.  PIBTERM
3.25 up and EXEC PC-TALK 2.1 up support autodownloading.

         A Sample Session (as it looks on your screen)

Note: brackets explain things you do not see on your screen.  [<rtn>] means
that you pressed the return key.  This uses PC-TALK.

    Libr command <ACDGLSUV>? D[<rtn>]
    Enter full filename(s) to download? DK0023.ARC[<rtn>]
    Download type <A>scii, <X>modem, <C>rc xmodem, <N>one? X[<rtn>]

    Non-ascii transfer required
    FILE SIZE:  4 blocks  512 bytes
    Time to transmit:  8 secs
    XMODEM SEND of DK0023.ARC ready.  Ctrl-X aborts
    [Pgdn]
    File to receive: DK0023.ARC=X[<rtn>]
