A small question about the defaults in ftp scripts.
Since I got command line ftp scripts working, I've been testing it by 
doing all run of the mill ftp logins by script and, as a follow-up, also 
scripted the set up - hash, pager, etc. Pager on doesn't work because, 
when a script is running, pager off is forced. It's easy to comment that 
out and it all works OK, but the question is why *force* it off ? I can 
see the argument that if you're running a script you probably don't want 
it on, but why not have the choice ? Am I missing something or is it 
merely a case of nanny knows best ?
