   1 - If you have descriptions in files.bbs files, you can rename the files.bbs   
   to descript.ion (some editing will probably be necessary since files.bbs can   
   be multiple lines, but bbbs's descript.ion format is: filename.zip [long   
   description up to 750 chars]   
               ^   
             Space   
      
   2- The other thing you can do is if the files have file_id.diz files in them,   
   you can go to a file area, and type:   
      
        des -a *.*   
      
   That will add all the files in that directory, and grab the description of   
   each file from it's file_id.diz.   
      
   3- if a file doesn't have a file_id.diz in the archive, you can type:   
      des *.*   
   and you'll be prompted for a manual description for the file that you type in.   
      
   Hope this helps.. maybe someone knows another way I'm not thinking about. :)   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
