When you copy multiple files, you can see it pause in between each..

This worked some of the time for me..  Sometimes, I specify a directory,
and gmc goes away and never comes back..  I finally kill it..

I've had other problems..  

1) I transfered a bunch of files at once, and the 
   transfer window was over the left tree display..  

   When the window disappeared, the text on the tree window was all
messed      up..
   It had multiple copies overlaid..  I scrolled up, and then back down
and     things were back to normal..

2) The open with application didn't work..  I select a text file, 
   and emacs as the application, and emacs comes up saying <new file>
   and it's empty..



Other comments..

1) Is /#sh:  the only way to specify this mode?  I'd think an http style
would be more intuitive, say: sh://host.com[:C/r:]/home/bob

or better yet:  ssh://  or rsh:// and remove the r option

2)  It would also be nice that the default to be the users directory, if
no      path is specified..
