But his problem was that he couldn't even get to that point.  He had
his PMMail set to fetch upon startup, and it kept crashing.  In order
to use the Remote Control in this case, he needs to set his options to
not fetch he account on startup.  Then he would have a chance to use
the Remote Control before it crashes the program.
