PC-Talk III supports ASCII, Binary, and XMODEM file transfers.  Most BBS
also support all three transfers.  The set-up protocol works the same for
all of the transfer types, except that in the last two cases you have to
append '=b' (for binary) or '=x' (for XMODEM) to the file specification of
the destination file on your micro.

For example, a typical file transfer using XMODEM protocol would look like
this (comments are between {}):

{here you are connected to the BBS}
Upload, Download ? [U/D] : D

File transfer type - Ascii, Binary, XMODEM [A/B/X] : X

Filename: BBSFILE.COM
Escape back to your micro and start XMODEM protocol
<ALT-R>			{<---- after this you are talking to PC-TALK again}
FILE SPECIFICATION : myfile.com=x <ENTER>

{Once you have pressed <ENTER> you will see a message indicating that
the protocol is in effect:}

*** Holding for Start...
