The program has three options on its menu:

• Download: This will confirm the start and end dates you wish to download, you then click OK and it will start downloading. (It also remembers what dates you last downloaded)
• Configure: You need to set your username and password in here and you can also SET DIRECTORY where you want the files to go. (Normally c:\snet)
• Files: This lets you select the files you want to download. Click on the files you want - files highlighted will be downloaded, click again and it will be switched off. (The default is just to get the DN file so if that's all you want you don't need to change anything). There may be extra subscriptions payable for some files.

Anyone who needs to fire off an automated download at a specific time can have their timer program run "snetdn /a" and snetdn will then automatically start a download. Note however that if its fails it will stop with the error message on the screen and wait for OK to be pressed.
