Contrary to what Greg said I think the menus on CIS are very useful for certain
functions, especially downloading files however that does not preclude you from
using direct commands as some would have you think.  Do NOT change your setup
from menus to the command mode as they suggest, you can use commands at any
prompt!  For example if you are at the menu prompt in library #2 and want to go
to library #7 simply type DL7 and hit ENTER, likewise you can go to any library
from the Top menu by typing DL# plus ENTER.  Also if you have chosen a xmodem
protocol upon your first download (the menu does not give a choice of protocols
after the first download) and wish to use the capture mode later you can do so
by typing DOWNLOAD filename /PROTOCOL:CAPTURE and the capture mode will be in
effect until you change your protocol again.
 
Hope this helps, Robert
