[nos-bbs] Sending a file (.csv)

[Brett Friermood]

Thanks, Bill.

I do use only the JNOS console and not an external mail client, so
this looks like what I am looking for.

I don't have time to try it tonight, but just looking at the snippet
you provided it seems pretty straight forward. Just a couple little
questions.

1. It looks like it but this would be run from the console and not an
active session, correct?

2. If I am connecting through an intermediate station to get to the
BBS, can this command still be used?

Thanks
