Nope, I had no disagreement with "return". As far as I'm
concerned, any time you go back to something or some place that
you've been to before, you can call it a return.
As I recall it you (or someone) said that Alt-X and Alt-E did the
same thing. My view is that what they do is very similar but not
identical. That's why they are different commands. If they were
the same there would be no need for two separate commands.
I ain't going to bother about digging out old messages just to
keep this discussion alive.
So let's leave it at that.

That's a good idea.
I have a batch file for arachne that does the following:
1. copies one of several ACF files over ARACHNE.CFG (for
whichever ISP I want to use)
2. sets the startup for arachne to the URGENT mail folder, the
Inbox, or to my personal links page, in that order of
preference
3. calls ARACHNE.BAT
4. on exit, checks for PPP.LOG, and if it exists warns "you are
still online" and gives option of disconnecting, reconnecting
or ignoring
5. compares the hotlist with a backup and if changed allows
option of backing up
6. checks for anything in MAIL\TRASH, and if present gives option
of deleting it
