    Just by removing my mail directory and putting the mail.mai in the root
    of my directory, I have the following:
    
    $ sho quo
      User [ALUMNUS,MBORLAND] has 257 blocks used, 1243 available,
      of 1500 authorized and permitted overdraft of 100 blocks on ALM
    $
    
    This is made up by the essential files (I can remove little more). 
    Imagine this the customs list on some weary Internet exile's visa:
    
    $ dir/size=all
    Directory ALM:[MBORLAND]
    KILLME.COM;1               1/25
    LOGIN.COM;25               3/25
    MAIL.MAI;1                30/75
    MON.COM;2                  1/25
    NOTES$NOTEBOOK.NOTE;1
                              30/50
    PLAN.TXT;20                1/25
    Total of 6 files, 66/225 blocks.
    $

    KILLME.COM, my cyanide pill, an interface for killing a lingering 
    process of mine, a clumsy but effective implementation.
    LOGIN.COM, where it all starts, with the telling code which sets my 
    process ID to "Back to Bitmap!"
    MAIL.MAI, my mail, which is now forwarded.  Do I need it?
    MON.COM, my spy informing me of your presence.
    NOTES$NOTEBOOK.NOTE, without which I'd be lost in Stonehenge.
    PLAN.TXT, the cryptic code of a distant dream.
