-------------------------------------------------------
KEYWORDS: NETSCAPE ANARCHIE FETCH FTP APPLESCRIPT PATCH

Author's description:
It lets Netscape use Anarchie or Fetch as the default FTP client. In other words: When you click on URLs that begin with ftp://, Netscape sends the request to Anarchie or Fetch, instead of trying to do the job itself. Anarchie and Fetch tend to be a *lot* more stable than Netscape in handling such jobs.

How does it work?
It sends an AppleScript command to Netscape, which changes its internal configuration. This patch is squeaky clean - it's nothing like a ResEdit hack.

What do I need?
* AppleScript installed at the time you run the script.
  Note: You can remove AppleScript afterwards if you don't use it.
* Netscape (hello?)
* Anarchie or Fetch

How much does this cost me?
Hello?  I didn't invent this feature in Netscape. I simply wrote a
five-minute script which acts as a front end. Send me some nice email if you like. Or some bug fixes for PageMill 1.0, which really disappointed me.
