      This command will locate any files that are new since the specified date
      in the directories that you specify.

   Subcommands
@X02
      @X0B[date]          @X03This represents the date from which PCBoard begins a
                      search for all new files.  All files found are
                      displayed.

                      NOTE:  If you pass the date on the command line (e.g.,
                      N;030394;A) and you want to specify only the files
                      since your last scan then you would enter an S instead
                      of an actual date.

      @X0B[directory #]   @X03When using this command, you must specify a directory
                      or range of directories that PCBoard should search for
                      the desired file(s).  You may list a single directory,
                      a range of directories in the format [#-#] or a list of
                      directories in a [#;#;#] format.  There are two letters
                      you may use as a directory number.  If you use A for
                      the directory number, it tells PCBoard to search all
                      file directories in the current conference.  Likewise,
                      if you use U for the directory number, the upload
                      directory of the current conference will be searched.

      @X0BD               @X03All files found are queued for later download during
                      your call.  To download the files that have been
                      queued, execute a download using either the D or DB
                      commands.

      @X0BS               @X03PCBoard scans for files added since the date of the
                      most recent files the caller has been shown.  PCBoard
                      keeps track of the most recent valid file date that you
                      have seen in the file directories.  For example, if you
                      were to do a new scan searching all file directories on
                      12-24-94, but the latest file date that was displayed
                      was 12-21-94, PCBoard will remember that the latest
                      date you have seen is 12-21-94.

      @X0BNS              @X03Files are displayed in nonstop Mode (no More? prompts
                      are displayed).
@X0F
   Description
@X03
      A system commonly has hundreds or thousands of files online. Rather
      than viewing each of these directories and attempting to pick out the
      new files, use this command to limit the files that are displayed by
      date. Using the subcommands you will have control over the date to
      begin the search and the directory or directories that you would like
      to search for new files.
@X0F
    Examples
@X03
      One of the most common searches is to find new files in all directories
      of the current conference.  To perform this search, you would type the
      following at a conference command prompt:
@X0E
          N;S;A
@X03
      If you wanted to only scan the upload directory for files that have a
      date which is equal to or greater than 07-19-93, type the following at
      a conference command prompt:
@X0E
          N;071993;U
@X03
      A more complex search may specify only a few of the available file
      directories in the conference.  As an example, if you want to scan for
      new files since 05-22-94 in directories 1-4, 15, and 20-25, type the
      following at the conference command prompt:
@X0E
          N;052294;1-4;15;20;25
