@X0E     This command will  create mail  packets you  can read off-line  and
     download them.  Once the download is complete the you be will auto-
     matically logged off  the BBS.  This  command is  useful if  you're
     downloading a large QWK packet, allowing you to walk away.

  @X0F Description
@X03
      To  save  time  and  money, a common  practice  is to  transfer  mail
      packets to and from a bulletin board system. The messages can then be
      read  and replied to off-line.

      When this  command is  executed a QWK  packet will be made.  QWKScan
      will scan the conferences that you have  selected for scanning  with
      the (S)elect command.  All new mail in the selected conferences will
      be included in  your QWK packet.  Also, if there  have been  any new
      files placed on the BBS since your last call a newfiles list will be
      compiled and included  with your  QWK packet.  Once  your QWK packet
      is downloaded you will be automatically logged off the BBS.

      @X0B[protocol]   @X03If a protocol is not specified for transferring the QWK
                   (mail) or REP (reply) packet, the default protocol will
                   be used. A different protocol can be used by specifying
                   the protocol letter on the command line or by  executing
                   QWKScan's "(T) Transfer protocol Selection" command.

@X0F   Examples
