\F
F)iles displays a list of the files available for download in¨
this File Area. You can list files selectively using MSDOS¨
"wildcards"; for example, "F *.EXE" lists all files with¨
extention .EXE, etc.

\D
D)ownload sends files from Fido TO YOU. First, you are asked for¨
the file transfer protocol to use (you can get specific help at¨
that point), then the name(s) of the file(s) you wish to¨
download.

Please refer to the documentation for YOUR terminal program on¨
how to download. You must complete your download within the¨
remaining amount of your time limit. (Fido will warn you at the¨
right time.)

\U
U)pload sends files from your computer TO FIDO. First, you are¨
asked for the file transfer protocol to use (you can get ¨
specific help at that point), then the name(s) of the file(s) ¨
you wish to upload.

Please refer to the documentation for YOUR terminal program on¨
how to upload. You must complete your upload within the remaining¨
amount of your time limit. (Fido will warn you at the right¨
time.)

\A
A)rea-Change lets you choose one of the available File Areas in¨
the system. Files are generally grouped into File Areas by type¨
of program, etc., as determined by the System Operator. 

The various FILE SECTION commands operate only within the ¨
current File Area. ** NOTE that the L)ocate command is an ¨
exception to this rule; see below **

\T
T)ype displays a text file on your screen.

- Control-C Aborts Commands/text display
- Control-K Aborts Commands/text display
- Control-S Pauses Commands/text display -
press any key to continue.

\S
S)tatistics displays various statistics about your connection to¨
Fido.

\L
L)ocate can be used to search for a file, or files, across ALL¨
File Areas. You can use the MSDOS "wildcard" characters at the¨
prompt for the file to locate. You might use this command to¨
locate in which File Area a particular file resides.

"L filename.ext" will list each File Area and all occurrences  of¨
the file it finds.

\R
R)aw-Display is similar to the DOS "DIR" command, except that it¨
lists hidden files and subdirectories. It does NOT refer to the¨
Fido file list, "FILES.BBS", for the file descriptions.

\K
K)ill-File is similar to the MSDOS "DEL" command; it deletes all¨
occurrences of the file(s) in the current File Area. It also¨
removes all matching names from the file list, "FILES.BBS".

*** WARNING *** It will NOT ask "Yes or No" if you specify "*.*".

\O
O)verride-Path is used to specify a DOS subdirectory for the ¨
FILE SECTION commands to operate on, instead of the normal File¨
Area.

** NOTE ** This command is usually made available to the SYSOP.

\G
G)oodbye: Log-off of Fido. Depending upon the implementation of¨
Fido on this system, you may be prompted to optionally enter a¨
Private message to the SYSOP before you are logged off. After¨
log-off, you will be disconnected.

It is safe to "Hang Up" on Fido; it is never harmful.

\M
M)ain-Menu returns you to the MAIN SECTION, the first menu of¨
commands you see when you log into Fido. From there, you can¨
return to the FILES SECTION or go into the MESSAGE SECTION.
