We already have too many as it is. And more will come if we work on imap. Besides this, I don't always know what I want until I am there. Particularly when traversing an ftp file system or clicking on a link. Is it the actual download, or is it another html page that is full of legal crap that I have to agree to? I just can't know in advance what to do. On an ftp link I hit g for go and if it turns out to be a directory I want to see that page, download into memory. If it turns out to be a file I want to be presented with the file name, which can be very long, but relevant, with version numbers in it and the proper suffix for compression and archive type etc, so I want it to offer me that file name and I just hit return if I like it, and don't have to type it all in again perfectly, and retain the option of typing in something else, but I don't usually know what I want until I am presented with the file name. And maybe another optional character like & if I want to differentiate between foreground download and background download, which I really think is a good idea, the more I think about it, to give people the options. It's only one more character to type to put it it in the background. I know you don't use mail client but this is consistent with how mail works, so people will be use to that. When you get mail it prints the default name of the attachment, which once again could be long, with version numbers and suffixes etc, and could be important, where you wouldn't want to type it all in again, so you just hit return and accept it, or type in a new file name for the attachment if you want to. I want to make this download feature the same way, having a common interface. Karl Dahlke
