Salvador, Downloading is confusing at first, but it is really very easy. Since I don't know what term you are using, it is harder to be specific, but this is what to do: First, find the file you want to download. To find a library, at the Forum! prompt, type ln. Then choose one that sounds interesting and type its name, as in LIB14 Now, to look through the library, type BRO When you find a file you want to download, at the "Dispositio!" prompt, type DOW At this tZe you will see a menu of protocols. If your term can use B or QuickB, choose that. QB is first choice; B is second. If you have B protocols, then you will next be asked for the name for your computer. Type the path and the name, as in DF1:FILENAME.ARC If you do not have B protocols in your term program, choose XModem. Then look in the menu and select "Xmodem Receive". Your computer should then put up a requester into which you type the path and filename, as shown above. When the transfer is over, press RETURN and go on looking, or whatever you wish to do next. <continued>

<continuation> After you sign off, you will need to unarc the file. If you don't know how to do that, look in Lib1 and read (with your capture open) ARC.HLP. Then go to Lib4, and download ARC.EXE. I suggest that if you need to do this, you type this path: df0:c/ARC That will put ARC in your c: directory ready for use, and renamed to fit the patterns in the help file you get in LIB1. If you need more help, please ask. We are delighted to have you join our forum, and will all be pleased to help you. It will help us if you give us more information, though. Tell us what terminal you are using, for instance, and whether you have one drive or two. Betty
