Configuration menu (see 4.3.2, Block size).
3.4.5 Receiving a file
Once you have selected the protocol and requested one or more files
from the BBS or on-line service, you are ready to initiate the
download in Novaterm. To do this, press C= D from the terminal mode
(see 3.1.3, Commodore key commands, C= D).
Novaterm will display the file transfer screen. The window in the
center of the screen displays data being received. Directly above the
window, Novaterm maintains a count of the number of bytes received.
If you are not using a batch transfer protocol, Novaterm prompts you
for a file name. Type in the file name as you wish it to be stored on
the disk. If the file already exists on the disk, Novaterm will ask if
you want to replace it.
If you are using a batch transfer protocol, and if a file name sent by
the sender already exists on your disk, Novaterm changes the last
character of the file name to avoid the conflict.
Novaterm will prompt you for a file type (unless you are using Punter
or Multi-Punter protocol, which transfer the file type automatically).
Novaterm will then start sending signals to the other computer. The
transfer should begin within several seconds. (If nothing happens
after about 15 seconds, hold down the C= key to abort the transfer and
try to find out what went wrong.)
At any time during the transfer, hold down the C= (logo) key to abort.
You may have to hold it for a few seconds before Novaterm gets to
a point where it can abort the transfer smoothly.
