I tried them and ftp worked with no problems on the two sites I've
talked about till now.

But I have access to one other server, so yesterday I thought I'd try
it with your parse-dir-list fix - but imediately noticed access via
REBOL's FTP wasn't returning all the file-names in the first
directory I looked at!  This is nothing to do with your code, as it
happens with REBOL's original code.  There's 24 files and directories
in the directory when I look at it with my FTP client, but REBOL only
returns 10 of them.  Anyone heard of this problem before?
