Erich,

 won't enable B proto downloading. That only opens a capture buffer for
ASCII captures.

B proto is automatic. Lemme try this:

When you type DOW filename and select B proto, CIS polls your terminal program
with an specific escape series. They call it an INQUIRY.

If your terminal program supports B proto, it "knows" to respond back to the
INQUIRY with an appropriate answer and the transfer takes off. If not, it sits
there dumbly for 3 attempts (just to make sure it got it right) and bombs out.

This is all going on between the host (cis) and the remote terminal (you). The
operator has no involvement other than answering what ever prompts the system
may throw at you.

Give it a try and you'll see what I mean. Enter any LIB, and nab a file using B
proto. Sit back and watch!

Steve
