What _may_ be confusing you, Erich, is the absence of any command for a B proto
download on the startup screen of Sterm.

Not to worry ... B proto is built in. When you type DOW at the LIB prompt, and
specify B proto, CIS takes it from there and initiates the transfer.

B proto is yards faster than either xmodem or Kermit on CompuServe, but you
still  can use either by Shelling out and running an external protocol utility.

For instance, I log on routinely to a system in Florida and transfer files with
SZ/RZ (a zmodem external utility). Likewise, I'm forever moving files back and
forth between the office and home using Kermit. Just  to a shell and
issue the comands.

But here .... nothing beats typing DOW and letting the system take over!
