But apparently you can't abort the transfer of a message into your
AppleLink text buffer.  If you ask for, say, technical information
and upon seeing the first few lines you realize it's not what you
wanted, you have to wait for the WHOLE THING to finish downloading
before you can escape.  When it runs on for several pages, that is
yet another expensive waste of time.
