	Can't live without it.

	Yesterday, I was using Kermit to transfer a file from a Macintosh
to our VAX.  When the transfer finished, I wanted to compare the file
sizes of the Mac and VAX versions.  I couldn't do it without exiting
Kermit, finding the Mac file's icon, and doing an INFO!!  I was dying
to push the Kermit window "to the back" and do a "dir".
	An expert Mac user next to me said, "Well, you could do it if you
had programs X, Y, and Z installed as desk-accessories."  Sigh.
