Is there a way to get CAB to do ftp?
I've noticed there is a place in the newest version to enter
an ftp proxy.  What is a proxy?  I've entered my usual DNS
in this blank...also tried with no entry at all.  When doing http,
I've not used any kind of proxy (once again...what is a proxy?).

AT any rate, clicking on an ftp url yeilds a cache reading error.

Clicking on a usenet url just brings up an empty window...

Mailto: doesn't work for me either...it will load the editor, which saves
the mail into the wwwcache folder, next it connects to host, and stops
after displaying "sending request".  I've entered the same smtp address
that I use with Ant_Mail (it works!), and NOS (It works too!).
What am I doing wrong?

Please forgive my annoying questions....I promise....read all the docs
I could find in the www131 package and found nothing helpful on ftp, nntp, 
smtp, proxy, etc...even spent an hour hunting ST-GUIDE in case the HYP
files were more informative (duplicates to the txt versions).

In earlier posts in this newsgroup I read of various paramaters for STik's
default.cfg file such as EMAIL, SMTP_HOST, etc...  I must be missing
something, are the more docs hidden in the WWW package that I'm missing?
Where might I find a listing of these additions?

The docs that I do have are great!  In reading them closely, I've managed
to get a fully functional html browser working (graphics too!).
ANT_MAIL also works great...telnet works, althoe it is VERY slow and
puts garbage on the first line when logging in (requires entering user id
twice).  Finger will not work for me at all.  I've not tried IRC.
