My apology for this dumb query, but a colleague has asked me to do a
job for him and I don't really have time to learn all the tricks of the
bbs trade just now, so I'm hoping someone can give me a blow-by-blow
recipe to achieve the following, please:

Problem:  Connect by modem to overseas bbs running Procomm Plus
	  Download file from bbs to local PC using Mirror III v1.0

Notes:	  I can get a menu of options such as D(ownload) etc., and
	  a menu to select a protocol (only X-modem and Y-modem
	  seem to be useful options here - unfortunately Mirror III
	  doesn't support Z-modem) then I'm offered the chance to
	  specify a file name to download.  But when I try to R(eceive)
	  the file using the Mirror RX command (receive X-modem) things
	  just bomb out and I get a "cancelled" message from the host :-(  
	  Both systems are set to 8N1 for the transfer, so at least 
	  *that's* not the problem.

Solution: ?  Over to you dear readers.  Any advice would be welcome, but
	  I would especially appreciate a detailed list of instructions
	  from someone who has actual experience with this particular
	  operation: i.e. downloading a file from a bbs running Procomm
	  Plus to a PC running Mirror III.

I would appreciate e-mail responses (by all means post also if you wish to) 
because our system "drops" a lot of incoming news (i.e. it doesn't come in :-(

Thanks very much for your trouble. 

Cheers,  Ian S.

P.S.  Note also that I've set followup-to comp.bbs.misc.
