Because this allows for combining MacPerl interactivity with user
direction.  For instance, maybe I want to do a search for a file that will
be started from a script, then browse through the Anarchie window.  Or
maybe I want to upload a directory of files automatically, and then upload
or download a few manually.  There are any of a number of possibilities.
Imagine them yourself.  I would prefer in many cases to have one FTP client
for everything and leave it open.  This just makes it simpler and easier
(once the module is written).
