@X0F              @X04(@X0Cfilename@X04)@X0F @X03any valid DOS filename may be used and more than one

@X0F              @X04(@X0Cprotocol@X04)@X0F @X03is a letter from A-Z of the protocol desired
@X0F              @X04 @X0C  @X04       @X0F @X03based on the protocols available

@X0F              @X04(@X0Cgb@X04)      @X0F @X03Either (gb) or (bye) may be entered on the command

@X0F                         @X03after it finishes the file transfer

@X0ADescription:@X0F  @X02Allows transferring a file from the system being called to your
@X0F              @X02machine.

@X0F              @X02There can be up to 26 different types of protocols available.  If
@X0F              @X02you have not previously set a default protocol for the system you
@X0F              @X02are calling, you will be asked for the protocol type each time
@X0F              @X02you request a download.

@X0F              @X02Ascii protocol transfers are only available on non-binary text
@X0F              @X02files.  Filenames which have extensions of .EXE, .ARC, .COM,
@X0F              @X02.WKS, etc.  can not be downloaded using Ascii protocol.

@X0F              @X02Due to the wide range of protocols now available, it is suggested
@X0F              @X02you check with the sysop of this system if you have a question on
@X0F              @X02which protocols have been implemented and how to properly set
@X0F              @X02your software protocols to match those of this system.

@X0ASelecting
@X0AFiles:    @X0F    @X02Filenames do not need to be typed in completely in order for the
@X0F              @X02system to locate the desired file.  A default filename extension
@X0F              @X02is usually provided by the Sysop such as "@X0C.ZIP@X02" so that if you
@X0F              @X02request a file called TEST it will first search to see if a
@X0F              @X02file called TEST.ZIP can be located and if not it will search for
@X0F              @X02TEST and send which ever file it finds.

@X0F              @X02In some cases this default extension can make it difficult to
@X0F              @X02download a desired file.  For instance, if both TEST and TEST.ZIP
@X0F              @X02exist on the system then typing "@X0CD TEST@X02" will always result in
@X0F              @X02downloading TEST.ZIP.  To download the file called TEST in this
@X0F              @X02instance you would need to type TEST followed by a period with
@X0F              @X02no extension like this:

@X0F                       @X0CD TEST.

@X0F              @X02You may also locate files for download by using the * and ?
@X0F              @X02wildcard characters - the same as those used by DOS to specify
@X0F              @X02files.  See the examples below.


@X0ABatch
@X0ADownloads:@X0F    @X02Some protocols allow you to download more than one file at a
@X0F              @X02time.  Examples of this are the Ymodem and Ymodem/G protocols.
@X0F              @X02Downloading more than one file at a time requires that you select
@X0F              @X02a batch protocol on both your end and the host end of the
@X0F              @X02connection.

@X0F              @X02To select more than one file you must either enter (@X0CDB@X02) as your
@X0F              @X02download command or on the command line simply type more than one
@X0F              @X02filename.  See the examples below.

@X0EExamples:@X0F     @X0CD TEST         @X0F @X07- downloads TEST using the default protocol
@X0F              @X0CD TEST X       @X0F @X07- downloads TEST using the Xmodem protocol
@X0F              @X0CD TEST1 TEST2 Y@X0F @X07- downloads both TEST1 & TEST2 using Ymodem
@X0F              @X0CD TEST? G      @X0F @X07- downloads both TEST1 & TEST2 using Ymodem/G
@X0F              @X0CD TEST*.*      @X0F @X07- downloads any file starting with TEST
