DISPLAYING A SINGLE FILE ON-LINE
--------------------------------

"How can I display a single file online to my users?"

A Type 1 menu command is used to display a single text file on-line to your 
users.  The Opt Data switches default to a direct text display with no user 
intervention required. 

In MEDIT or SDL, simply create the text prompt, hot key, and authorizations.  
For Opt Data, designate the complete path and filename. 

If you want your users to be able to download or display the file on-line, add 
a /D to the end of the Opt Data line.  When the user activates the menu
command from TBBS, he or she will be presented with the protocol select menu.  
They can select protcol 1 to display the file on-line, or any of the other 
protocols if they care to download the file.
