 +==== Outgoing file requests ==== 
 +These can be generated by BinkleyTerm or by using one of the many 
 +utilities designed for the purpose, such as Amax, Bonk,  Please, 
 +etc.  Any Opus-compatible file request builder can be used with 
 +BinkleyTerm.  You may also manually build file requests.  They are 
 +a single-line flat ASCII text file, and are named in the same 
 +manner as packets (refer to the User Manual section "How 
 +BinkleyTerm Handles Mail" for information on the naming convention) 
 +and have a file extension of .REQ.  Outgoing requests should NEVER 
 +have a drive and path designation; only the file name.  The remote 
 +system handles the drives and paths. 
 + 
 +The ''.REQ'' file is placed in your outbound holding area. 
 + 
 +BinkleyTerm will not place calls for a stand-alone .REQ file.  In 
 +order for a call to be placed, a packet or file attach of the 
 +proper flavor must also exist (this will be prepared, along with 
 +the .REQ file, by utilities such as Bonk and Amax).  You can also 
 +manually poll to send the request immediately.
