RZ, RX, RB Beginner Help

This document describes how to use ZModem's rz command, XModem's rx
command, and YModem's rb command to upload files from your local 
host computer to your World account.

Please note that most software will automatically recognize the
beginning of a ZModem, XModem, or YModem upload when you enter the
transfer command from The World. However, you should have the
documentation for your local host software within reach in case you
need additional information about commands or menu item selections
that affect file transfer at your local level.

Further, please note that to abort a ZModem, XModem, or YModem file
transfer, use the Control-x character.  You may need to type several
Control-x characters before the transfer aborts.


Receiving files with ZModem

 All World commands will be prefixed with the string "world%" to 
indicate that you should issue the command at the World's UNIX prompt.

  To receive a text file from World to your local host (download) use:
        world%   rz  -a  filename

The filename you specify will be downloaded to your local host.

  To receive a binary file from World to your local host (download), where
  the -b flag (for binary) is the default, use:
        world%   rz  filename


Receiving files with XModem
