I came up with a patch that tells Nvu to automatically send the NAMEFMT 
and LISTFMT commands when it connects, and it also changes to the root 
directory of the IFS (Since Nvu seems to assume that the directory you 
start in should be the root that you work out of, and makes all 
directories relative to that -- which, in my case, stuck me in /QSYS.LIB 
which was unworkable)

If anyone is interested in trying it out, I've put the patch on my Web 
site at the following link:

http://www.scottklement.com/tools/nvu_os400.diff

I've tested it only on FreeBSD.  I do not have the correct compiler to 
attempt to compile it in Windows, so please don't ask me to do that :) 
Since the patches relate to FTP, though, I can't think of any reason why 
it wouldn't work on any platform.

If you're going to file a bug report with the Nvu project, I suggest 
adding these patches so that they know what needs to be fixed.  It wasn't 
hard to fix, but MAN this program takes a long time to compile! :)
