   So far, this LOOKS like a good deal!  I am having some trouble   
   sorting out what's where (and the right click menu seems like   
   it missed a lot of opportunities at utility -- but, there's   
   still a lot of digging that I have to do so there may be a   
   setting, somewhere...)   
      
   It's nice that you can "disconnect" sessions from the MDI.   
   It would be nice if they defaulted to that form of presentation.   
      
   Thanks, again, for the pointer!  I'm about to hammer the FTP client   
   to see how well it fares...
