Maybe cause your some poor person who hasn't found the light of GNO yet and is
still using the Orca Shell.

Or, your a Sysop who runs a METAL based BBS system and you want to automate
the task of calling out to grab your mail. So you just whip up a little macro
and *-presto-* you wake up to find that your Unix mail is at your house just
waiting for you. THEN you either use MuGS, or UUXQT.S to read/distribute your
mail. :)

Actually, I know that Jawaid is working on a similar concept for GNO. This IS
good! :) Gotta get SZ/RZ working right though! :) I'm STILL having major
problems with RZ.
