This utility allows you to request files from other Fidonet capable
bulletin boards. File requests are processed at different times depending on
the bbs being "freq'ed" but normally the file should be returned within 24
to 48 hours. You will be notified automatically when your file has arrived.
The maximum allowable files is usually quite low since most Sysops dont
appreciate large numbers of file requests (with good reason) since this would
tie up the boards too much. You should use this utility *ONLY* if you are
searching for a specific file that cannot be found here. This applies to both
contributing and non-contributing members.

FREQIT MAIN MENU COMMANDS:
[#] Displays the file list you selected. When a page is displayed
you will have the following options:
[M]ark - mark the file NUMBER for request,
[S]earch - skips ahead until the search string is found
[Space] - skips ahead until the next blank line (useful for
jumping to new categories in the list).
[Return] - displays the next page in the list.
[Q]uit - Shows you the files you have marked and asks for
confirmation then returns you to the main freqit menu.
Hitting 'Q' during the display will take you to the menu.
[S]earch Will search the entire list you specify for the string you enter
then show the matches. This can take anywhere from a few seconds
to a minute or so depending on the size of the selected list.
Search can be aborted by typeing a 'Q'.
[H]elp Shows this file
[Q]uit Returns you to the system prompt
