Special thanks to Mr. Calhoun for mentioning some code in his problem
that got me going quickly with tramp:

        (require 'tramp)
        (setq tramp-default-method "ftp")

Everything works fine with the initial command:

	C-x C-f /user@ftp.somewhere.com:index.htm

I get a password prompt,  type it in,  and I should be editing
index.htm.  But then something else happens,  I continue to get more
password prompts for "#!user."  If I enter the correct password for
"user,"  I get a failed attempt to log in.  If I just hit enter,  I
get a failed attempt to log in.  Inexplicably,  if I try one more
time,  Tramp complies.  It's the same way with dired/tramp.

Any ideas?  Should tramp be asking for the password more than once in
the same ftp session?  Why would it add "#!" to the user-name?

Do you have a *tramp/foo* buffer?  (You shouldn't.)
Do you have a *debug tramp/foo* buffer?  (You shouldn't.)
Do you have a *ftp foo* buffer?  (You should.)

If you answered yes to one of the first two, then that's a bug in
Tramp.

Else it's a bug in Ange-FTP.  Not that this helps you much...

Hm.  It might be interesting to see the *ftp foo* buffer, to see how
it goes wrong...  Please censor the passwords...
