Just an oversite, I'm sure, when Sterling was coding the mapping
function. Thanks. I believe that the French version will prove
incorrect in mapping "Jui" to June.

Kind of like a traditional command line version of FTP? I guess it
would give access to more commands that could be used more flexibly, but
it would seem to me that to get any sort of automation would then
require developing the more complex scheme that is in the current REBOL
FTP. Am I missing the point?
Thanks for the feedback, and I apologize in advance if I have totally
missed the point.
