Donald: I'll work on answers to your other questions, later today--it's sort of
busy right now--but will answer this one, now.

 > WHAT DO I ANSWER FOR "WIDTH" IN THE UPLOAD ROUTINE?

First off, downloading means "coming to you."  Uploading means "coming from
you."  So, if I understand you correctly, you want to "upload" a .DO file to
this host system and want to know how to respond to the "width" prompt.

The answer is . . . just hit <enter> . . . don't respond with a number.  This
true with messages and ABSOLUTELY true with program uploads--which must be
saved into a .DO file before uploading.

Since I raised the issue, saving a .BA as a .DO is easy.  Start the .BA running
then break it (CTRL C) or (SHIFT BREAK).  At the OK prompt, simply enter
SAVE"filename.DO" and hit <enter>.  At the OK prompt, once again, tap your <f8>
function key to exit to the menu, and you will find the ASCII equivalent of
your .BA program.  The extension will be .DO.
