	The following is the fP Transfter entry from my Help Files
and Quick Reference Guide product. You can purchase your own copy
 from my website
<http://www.hvcomputer.com/shopping/orderform.shtml#quickref>

	The important flags for most transfers are -LF, -T or -R
for filePro files. For non-fP files, also -N or -NB. If you
are having problems, use -E, -EA and -X to give you a clue
about what is wrong.
