I keep seeing these rave reviews, but I tried thor once and had problems.
I may try it again someday, but the task of converting from inetutils,
tin, elm etc. to thor and then back (argh!) again if it doesn't work
again is daunting.  I don't know how many config files and environment
variables I have in the works here, I've lost track of them all.

Also, I've bastardized a form of multiuser, for my girlfriend to read
news and mail.  We each have a script that sets up variables and 
config files for either user.  How would Thor handle multi user?
