    "pseudo-filename-completion is supported in some commands.  To use it,\n\
     use a wildcard expression that will match exactly one file.  I.e., if you\n\
     want to fetch obnoxiouslylongfilename.zip, try 'get obn*.zip.'  Note that\n\
     you can't use the cd command with this feature (yet).",

    "You don't need to type the exact site name with open.  If a site is in\n\
     your .ncftprc or the recent-file (.ncrecent), just type a unique\n\
     abbreviation (substring really).   I.e. 'open wuar' if you have the site\n\
     wuarchive.wustl.edu in your rc or recent-file.",

    "You can put set commands in your .ncftprc, by adding lines such\n\
     as '#set local-dir /usr/tmp' to the file, which will be run at startup.",

    "Use the .ncftprc file to set variables at startup and to add sites that \n\
     need init macros.\n\
     Sample .ncftprc:\n\
     #set pager \"less -M\"\n\
     \n\
     machine wuarchive.wustl.edu\n\
         macdef init\n\
         cd /pub\n\

     ncftp's rc to .ncftprc.",

    "Type 'open' by itself to get a list of the sites in your recent-file and\n\
     your .ncftprc.  You can then supply '#5' at the prompt, or use 'open #5'\n\
     later.",

    "Colon-mode is a quick way to get a file from your shell.  Try something\n\
     like 'ncftp wuarchive.wustl.edu:/pub/README.'",

    "The open command accepts several flags.  Do a 'help open' for details.",

    "Sometimes a directory listing is several screens long and you won't\n\
     remember the thing you wanted.  Use the 'predir' command to re-view the\n\
     listing.  The program keeps the copy locally, so you won't have to wait\n\
     for the remote server to re-send it to you.",

    "Use the 'page' (or 'more') command to view a remote file with your pager.",

    "ncftp may be keeping detailed information on everything you transfer.\n\
     Run the 'version' command and if you see SYSLOG, your actions are being\n\
     recorded on the system log.",

     dir, ls -lrt, etc).  'predir' does the same, only with your pager.",

     /pub/ncftp directory, AFTER business hours.",

    "The type of progress-meter that will be used depends if the remote host\n\
     supports the SIZE command, and whether your terminal is capable of ANSI\n\
     escape codes.",

    "To report a bug, mail your message to mgleason@cse.unl.edu.  Include the\n\
     output of the 'version' command in your message.  An easy way to do that\n\
     is to compose your message, then do a 'ncftp -H >> msg.'",

    "Don't put a site in your .ncftprc unless you want an 'init' macro.  The \n\
     recent-file saves sites with the last directory you were in, unlike \n\
     the rc file, while still letting you use sitename abbreviations.",
