 I dunno about the IED, but Netscape has been supporting
 the ftp://user@machine/path syntax
 for many years now. There is no reason to not revisit the old decision
 about not supporting URLs in EFS or ange-ftp. 
OK, it's been some years since I have had the time to stay up to date
with these things.   How does it handle relative remote paths?  Is
there a special syntax for filenames in my remote home directory?
Without this, editing remote files would still be a pain.
