# gftp has text-based and GTK+-based versions.  When you run gftp you're
# actually running a shell script: if the $DISPLAY environment variable is
# set (which happens when you're in X) it runs gftp-gtk, if not it runs
# gftp-text.  So, if you want to run the text-based one in X from an X term,
# run gftp-text.
