Hmm. If this could be made to do lookups in a "nice" way when
browsing the active file hierarchically (A T? Is that it?) this would
be especially good. (i.e. do a LIST "" "%" to get the top level, then
LIST "" "something.%" when you open one of the sublevels, and so on.)
This would provide a good way to deal with very large servers, since
getting the active file on a 30000 group server is a bit, um,
prohibitive at the moment. (I haven't let it finish--30 minutes and
all the VM on my machine is sufficient to put me off.)

No forcing of this on people, yeah. Also note the ability of groups
to be in more than one topic, though. That could help this issue.
John.
