My friend is desperate for me to email her relatives in Scandinavia,
but all addresses bounce and she's told that 'they only have
mobilies these days'.

BTW. how would you build-a-file from pieces of mc-ed files, each
in a different WorkspaceVT [since you previously denied that the mouse
which can carry text from/to any where is effectively part-of-the hardware
and therefore more basic/essentail than any other utility]?

Since mc:^F  *overwrites* the target file, wouldn't it be better, like 'nc'
if it just appended?

Also if you want to copy the text-extract to file: stuff.Xtract, you won't
lose the possibly, already existing stuff.Xtract; or is there another facility
of mc which I haven't yet discovered which already does what I often want?
