^^^^^^^^^^^
You mean flush-left :)
Actually, if you think about it, a "download" command doesn't make sense.
I instead would use 'include', which makes sense as you are including the
file with the message.
Convetion would be like this:
***** INCLUDE: filename

Ok, two small things. 1) Formatting can take place withing the post as
long as you ONLY use spaces, NOT TABS(!!!) to space things out. 2) The
editor I am working with is set up to word wrap at 65 spaces instead of 80
(to allow clipping the edges and putting them into a book). Weird
formatting over 65space can make things tiring.
