HELP
Hi,
Under file transfer I've selected the Xmodem protocol. I enter the library
and find a file that I want to download.Then I type'CHOICES' and select the
Xmodem protocol in Compuserve. Then in AmigaTerm I pull down the project menu
and select 'receive file',then I name the file(i.e. Test) and hit the OK box.
Then I get two lines 'Xmodem Test file open' and 'Xmodem ready for transfer'
,then nothing happens and Compuserve waits for the <CR> to indicate end of
transfer. By nothing happens Imean that after 1 or 2 minutes my disk hasn't
recorded anything nor do I get any indication that anything is being downloaded
Jeff,
Wait until you get the 'Ready to send file…enter <CR> when done'
message (or something similar) from CIS before you select RECEIVE FILE from
AmigaTERM..that should do the trick.

Jeffrey,
OK, when at a file, (I'm assuming you're BROwsing the lib) and you get the
disposition prompt/menu, type DOW. CIS should then display the protocol
choices for you. Select Xmodem. CIS will prompt "Waiting…hit CR when done."
Now, start your download from your end.
If you already know the filename, the most direct way is to enter the lib,
and type DOW <filename>/proto:xmodem. CIS will go directly to the 'waiting'
prompt, and you should then start things on your end.
