I take it you need help with Zdoor...

Files Menu
. Help for
both menus follows.

section. This change will carry over to PCB when you exit the
door.

(see the (T) command). You will be prompted for the filename
to download.

for download.

you could enter the command "N S U". To do a mail scan on your default scan
conferences, the command would be "MAIL D".
