I am trying to develop a Procomm+ aspect script file (rn.asp) to download rn 
newsgroups as a whole (to shorten connect time).  

I use a dw1 terminal type to avoid multiple --MORE-- prompts in an article,
then read the header on the first unread article and wait for
the --MORE--(*%) prompt.  I then use the following .asp script:

TRANSMIT " "                  ; Start rn sending
;                              
LOOP:                          ; loop for responding to prompts
WAITFOR "--MORE--"
PAUSE 1
TRANSMIT " "
WAITFOR "[NPQ] "
PAUSE 1
TRANSMIT " "
GOTO LOOP
;---------------------------

So far it works in reading the news and responding with spaces at the prompts
but I cannot find a script command to perform an ASCII download WHILE
it is executing these space responses.  Any ideas? DLOAD? GETFILE ASCII?
What would the actual command be and where in the script should I put it?

If this is the wrong newsgroup to ask this, I appologise, I looked all
over for a good one!
