because when I attempt to open a file using the ftp protocol, tramp 
loads, and the ssh handler throws an error about bad hostname ftp, 
instead of being passed to ange-ftp.  this is also the case when I start 
emacs -Q -l ange-ftp.

however, ange-ftp is reachable via emacs with no args, and even though I 
can't seem to get the functionality I want, I don't think this problem 
is worth your time any longer.  Thanks for the quick response though.
