'
Do a lot of Deletes, and one rename before expunge, and you loose your deletion markings while FB does a new listing of the files (rename should just mark the file not actually recompute the whole filelist)'
'
Since computing the file list seems to take forever an expunge could be done more efficiently by simply caching the current list,  noticing whether any of the expunges files, and apprpriately modifying the filelist without going to the server with a new dir request.'
'
Printing continues after bottom of the window is reached.'
