I can and has been for many years.

  SET HOST * <port> 
  SET HOST <host> <port>

Your big assumption that is false is that everyone is using Unix and
has Unix style command line tools.  However, you are still missing the
point.  You are comfortable with Unix tools, not everyone is.  The
fact that you like doing things one way does not mean that everyone
else should.

BTW, will scp transfer directory trees with permissions and timestamp
information between Unix and VMS?  Kermit can.
