     To  transfer files....
     A:>  You call a BBS or Host machine. The logon asks for your name  and
password.  (the  1st  time you call you have to answer  more  questions  to
register).
     B:>  Then  you  get menus and prompts. You goto the  FILE  menu  (some
systems have the file menu built-in to the main menu) and enter the command
for  file transfer. The usual command is 'D' to download a file or  'U'  to
upload a file. Usually you then press [Enter].  then.....
     C:> The BBS will ask which FILE(s) to transfer and which protocol  for
the transfer (some use the default protocol you named when you registered).
The best protocol to use if you can is Zmodem, Ymodem, or Ymodem-Batch. You
type  in the full name of the file to transfer. (If you are  not  connected
with MNP or V42x you cannot use the '-G' protocols).
     D:> When the BBS says WAITING (or READY or START NOW) only THEN do you
goto YOUR software file transfer screen (menu) to do the transfer from your
end. (commonly <PgDn> <PgUp> keys get your transfer menu in your  software)
and  then  make sure your transfer Protocol matches the BBS  protocol,  and
enter your file name (and PATH where needed). Once started the transfer  is
automatic.
     E:>  Even when transferring an ASCII (text) file you still use one  of
the  above mentioned protocols. ASCII transfer is normally only  used  when
you Upload a message (ie when you are writing a message online).

     NOTE: Never use ASCII or TEXT as the transfer protocol... Also if  you
don't  have  an error-correction connection, then you are not able  to  use
either  of '-G' modem protocols.
