You may use the latest version of any protocol you like. {COMMO} links to these (and any other) external programs with a single user-assignable key. Press [Alt-M] to enter the Macro Processor where you will find a menu of protocols used for Uploading and Downloading. The Macro File is pre-configured with commands that use DSZ and other external protocol programs. Just make sure that the executable program, such as DSZ.COM, is in your DOS path (or in the current directory).
