About Specified O number

(1) Downloading file includes O number;
If O number is specified as download destination, uses specified O number with
highest priority.
If O number is not specified (that is, ‟0‟ specified), uses included O number in
the file.
In the case downloading file includes O number and comment;
If comment is specified at downloading, uses specified comment.
If comment is not specified, uses included comment in the file.
As a result, if downloading file includes O number and comment, and if O
number is specified and comment is not specified, downloads with new O
number and old comment.
(2) Downloading file does not include O number;
It is necessary to specify O number as downloading destination. Without O
number causes error.
