(y/N) ; 00249: Prompt for FSE (only if ANSI is on) Okay, so you liked the ANSI stuff. Would you like to try for the full screen ANSI editor as your default text editor? It's a little more difficult to get used to than the line editor, but it'll be easier to use after you do get used to it. Generally speaking, if you're really new to BBSes, answer No to this. If you're an old hand, I recommend that you answer Yes. Do you want the full screen editor as the default?

It can be different on various computers, so this help will be a little vague...you'll probably find more help in your terminal's documentation or help screens. Keep in mind, though, that the better the protocol, the easier the upload! ZModem is probably the best; XModem is the worst. XModem CRC is better than XModem CheckSum. If all your terminal has is XModem, it's probably time to find a decent terminal program... Basically, you select a protocol that your terminal has available, enter the name of the file you want to send, then when XBBS tells you to go to SEND mode, start sending the file. You might remember that this is an MS-DOS system, so filenames should be in accordance with MS-DOS conventions (up to 8 characters, a period, and up to 3 more characters).  You will not receive credit for uploads for which you gave the wrong name (and, in fact, they may well be refused completely). Please do -not- send games unless they are something extremely special. Do not send crap. You will not be credited for it. If you don't know what crap is, ask the sysop. 00432: Download help Downloading is pretty simple. First, you'll need to select a protocol to use. Some protocols are better than others; if you have ZModem, I'd use that. XModem Checksum is the -last- thing to pick. Check your terminal help or documents to see which protocols you have available and pick one of those. Next, you'll enter a filename (in most cases). If XBBS tells you that Wildcards are acceptable, it means the protocol you've chosen can receive more than one file in a session. Wildcards are the ? and * characters. If you don't know how wildcards work, you should avoid them until you've looked it up in your DOS manual. After selecting a protocol and filename, XBBS will tell you to go to RECEIVE mode. Remember, when you are downloading, you are receiving a file from me. Activate the appropriate protocol on your terminal and it should become automatic. 00433: Commands for Bulls-mode.
