FTP_NOW BUTTON:

  If the message 'NO FILES SELECTED' appears then there are no fileset lines
  highlighted in the top text window indicating that a fileset is selected
  for FTP. To select a fileset click the left mouse button over a line and
  the line will become highlighted.

  If the message 'NO ELIGIBLE FILES SELECTED' appears then there are lines 
  highlighted in the top text window indicating that the filesets are selected
  but all the selected filesets have errors and are therefore not eligible
  to be FTPed. To allow the eligible files to be FTPed just click on the
  ineligible filesets (the filesets that were reported as being in error)
  and the fileset lines will become unhighlighted indicating that they are
  now deselected. Hit the 'FTP_NOW' button again and the passcode prompt
  window will appear. Look at the back of your ACE SecurID card and check
  the serial number against the default serial number displayed where the
  screen says: SECURID CARD SELECTED: A-720168. If you are using
  a different SecurID card then hold down the left mouse button
  on the displayed serial number and release the button when the
  cursor is over the serial number of the card you are going to use.
  The new serial number should be displayed. The user name and PIN
  number are read from a database file and will be sent directly
  to the remote host computer.
