- will be shown - usually grouped by category. To view one or more
- of the directory listing files, enter the number to view.
- Multiple listings can be viewed at the same time by entering
- several numbers at the same time.
-
- e.g. (F) (1) (2) (10)
-
- By adding the (NS) non-stop parameter at the end of your request,
- the entire listing will be displayed with screen pauses every 23
- lines.
-
- You can use the (V)iew subcommand to view the files included in a
- compressed file listed in one of the directories. If you elect
- to (D)ownload the file just (V)iewed, the filename of the Viewed
- file will automatically be carried forward as the download
- filename request unless over-ridden by you.
-
- Aditionally, you can request a download of a specific file from
- the (F)ile Subcommand prompt to avoid having to return to the
- main menu.
-
- Also, you can request a Download, Upload, or the Viewing of any
- file at all "More?" prompts while scanning a file directory.
