- Okay this is kind of what I am talking about. What is the next window
- and how do you get it to come up? This is what I thought I needed so I
- could put files up. Right now I am not even sure how to do that. I
- thought that you had your current ftp session and could pop up a
- second buffer that had say a directory in your home path. That way you
- could put and get files from either directory as you needed.
