While you guyz are trying to get Arachne to save files like a good
little piece of software, will you SERIOUSLY consider doing something
else I've been asking for next to forever:

   ALLOW ARACHNE TO PASS BACK DOS ERROR MESSAGES!!!!

I hit F2, I want to save a file somewhere other than \download.  I enter
the full path -- I'm SURE I have it right.  Later I go to look, and the
file isn't there!!  Why?  Because I made a typo, misremembered the
directory name, whatever ... and the file isn't in cache any more so I
have to go hunt for it all over again, download it all over again, etc.

   If Arachne had simply passed back the error message that DOS sent --
"could not save" or whatever -- I wouldn't have to go back and start
over from scratch.

   The failure to pass DOS error messages -- or recognize them and send
an error message of its own -- makes Arachne so damn much like Dozerware
that it's obscene.
