I am currently using PINE 3.95 thru a UNIX Shell and need help finding
the protocol for downloading from Folders to my PC via Zmodem transfer.
Using TELIX v3.21. For some reason, I am unable to locate the doc file
for my TELIX comm program. Help???  Thanks.

The Zmodem command is usually sz to download and rz to upload:

	sz dnload.fil 		;ought to do it.  

I use procomm/pcplus on my pc, which has a configuration option to
automatically download when the host starts it.  Telix probably has the
same thing somewhere.

OK, Patti, you can't directly download the contents of a (pine) folder. 
You first have to save that stuff (e)xport it to a unix file, then
download the unix file from your server.  Hope that makes sense?  BYE

Yes you can.  I do it all the time.  A pine folder is simply a single text
file with a number of mail messages in it.  My saved-mail folder is
~/mail/savemail and at the end of the month I rename it to savemail.aug or
whatever and then sz savemail.aug from within the /mail subdirectory. 
Then I delete it on the unix system and start fresh in September.  You can
export if you want, but it just creates a duplicate file under a different
name.

Is there any way I can help without 
you know,  really getting involved?
