Default Orienting the Approach.

In article , betwys1
@sbcglobal.net says...

On transfer from a Class C approach controller to a Class D tower
facility under the umbrella, I got the following direction yesterday
when flying in from the west:

"Fly a right downwind to runway 17L , clear to land."

Got the picture?
What is the first turn direction?
On which runway do you turn final from base?

Perhaps it's a left-hand circuit (std) and they want you to join
downwind, right-hand. That's what it sounds like to me.
