+	(This section is likely to grow as I get feedback)
+	(also see |netrw-debug|)
+
+	P1. I use windows 95, and my ftp dumps four blank lines at the
+	    end of every read.
+
+		See |netrw-fixup|, and put the following into your
+		<.vimrc> file:
+
+			let g:netrw_win95ftp= 1
+		
+		
+
+	P2. I use windows, and my network browsing with ftp doesn't sort by
+	    time or size
+
+		Windows' ftp has a minimal support for ls (ie. it doesn't
+		accept sorting options).  It doesn't support the -F which
+		gives an explanatory character (ABC/ for "ABC is a directory").
+		Netrw uses dir to get its short and long listings.  If you
+		think your ftp does support a full-up ls, put the following
+		into your <.vimrc>:
+
+			let g:netrw_ftp_list_cmd= "ls -lF"
+
+		Alternatively, if you have cygwin on your Windows box, put
+		into your <.vimrc>:
+
+			let g:netrw_cygwin= 1
+
+	P3. I tried rcp://user@host/ (or protocol other than ftp) and netrw
+	    used ssh!  That wasn't what I asked for...
+
+		Netrw has two methods for browsing remote directories: ssh
+		and ftp.  Unless you specify ftp specifically, ssh is used.
+		When it comes time to do download a file (not just a directory
+		listing), netrw will use the given protocol to do so.
+
+	P4. I would like long listings to be the default.
+
+		let g:netrw_longlist=1
+
+	P5. My times come up oddly in local browsing
+
+		Does your system's strftime() accept the "%c" to yield dates
+		such as "Sun Apr 27 11:49:23 1997"?  If not, do a "man strftime"
+		and find out what option should be used.  Then put it into
+		your <.vimrc>:
+			let g:netrw_timefmt= "%X"  (where X is the option)
+
+	P6. I don't want my current directory changing just because I'm
+	    browsing somewhere.
