A 'Y' command will select that file for downloading, 'N' rejects it,
'S' starts downloading of all files selected so far, and 'A' aborts
from Multi-File Transfer, back to the main BBS Command prompt. After
the last file in the directory has been shown, downloading of all
selected files will begin automatically. You are prompted:
