   funny thing here... i was using FMail on my main system before i switched to   
   FE... this was before JAM was introduced and at least a few years before i was   
   asked to join the FE beta team... when i switched, my fingers always wanted to   
   type "fsetup" so i created a bat file that i still use today to load FE's   
   setup program ;) :) :)   
      
   something else to note about many setup programs... quite many of them are   
   fashioned after the FD/FE style... even allfix... i forget where the style   
   actually started but back in the day it was easily recognizable and extremely   
   easy for folks to jump between tools using the format and layout... FMail is   
   close but twisted askew just slightly...   
      
   you really should take a look at these other tools and see what they do ;)
