I re-read the man page, and, sure enough, both transmit and receive
processes repsond to ~.  Receive only has one option, and that's the
redirect to a file.

I have to agree that the %nostop should have a command line option.  Looks
like maybe the ~ character should be resettable, too (or have a 'disable').

I have no idea how things like this could actually happen.  :)  The man page
says it was done by HP & AT&T, but you'd probably need a person to really
make it happen.
