BUGS
       Can't connect to some FTP servers (Novell, NT). Connection stays in "Request sent" state.

       Frames don't work if there's more frames with same name. Turn them off in such case.

       You can't upload large files; it takes _lots_ of memory.

       You shouldn't press '^Z' when you are in a viewer
