It would be useful if Arachne would warn us when the file being
downloaded already exists in the download directory. This function
already exists in many DOS functions, for example COPY and MOVE.

One feature I would like to see with Arachne is a "browse-n-select"
for attachments to emails.

I don't know whether this feature exists with other email clients as
I've never done an attachment with Foxmail which was the only one I used
before i discovered Arachne.

PUHLEASE don't anyone tell me that this is a "Windoze" feature.

We do it with Arachne already for some functions -- try entering
file:*.htm on the URL line to select a file for viewing.
