Re: feature requests galore!!!

When in the package chooser, you can do a 'i 1' to get the info for package
number 1. This info is not cached, rather remotly obtained (snippet below).

Will that work or were you thinking something scriptable (ie. 'grab -si ftp'
dumping the --info of all matches for ftp)?
