    Your Download Queue will remain intact.


<T>ag - Tag Files

    Enables you to tag various filenames, placing
    them in your download queue for a batch transfer.
    You can type in a single filename, or you can enter
    the number of the file(s) you wish to tag separated
    by commas (there must be at least one comma).

    (examples)  "FileName: game.zip"
                "FileName: 1,"
                "FileName: 1,2,7,4"

    You will be asked for consecutive filenames; press
    <enter> when finished.

<X>-Desc - Extended Descriptions

    This lets you look at the full description for any file.
    You may enter a single filename, or you can enter the
    number(s)---You must have at least one comma to use numbers.

    (examples)  "FileName: game.zip"
                "FileName: 1,"
                "FileName: 1,2,7,4"

    NOTE: When listing files without the full descriptions,
          entries with an extended description will be
