Yes, downloading from CompuServe is possible with Teleterm80! The procedure is similar to uploading. When CompuServe notifies you that it is ready to begin downloading a .BIN program file to your computer, before going to the Upload/Download menu you must change the terminal settings to word length 8 and parity none. At the Upload menu, use the <cursor-down> key to select Xmodem Receive, and enter a <carriage return>. You will be prompted in sequence for a filename, a file type, and an error-checking protocol. Enter the name the file will have on your disk (you can use the same name the file has on CompuServe), enter p for program files, and choose 2 for CRC protocol (this is supposed to allow even fewer errors to pass through than the Checksum protocol). After waiting for 15 to 20 seconds or so you will see the hyphens begin to appear at the bottom of the screen as each successful block is transmitted. When it's completed, the filename will disappear and you can use the cursor keys to return to the main menu. Don't forget to restore the terminal settings to word length 7, parity even before resuming your session on CompuServe. It is important to speed through the downloading setup process as quickly as possible. If you take too long, or make a fatal error, CompuServe will cancel the xmodem transfer and wait for you to send a carriage return. But you will be locked out of the keyboard and unable to do anything except turn the computer off and reload the terminal program while your on-line connect time and charges accumulate. Using this procedure you can also download files with .IMG extensions, but you will not be able to run the programs immediately. First you will have to strip the header information from the beginning of the file (typically the first 6 bytes), then you can load it and (if it is compatible with the B-128) run it..
