        effect: Switches from command mode to remote mode
                directing subsequent console input to the site
                associated with . If no ARPANET site is
                currently associated with , the user is
                asked to spesify a site. The first time the
                user "talks" to a particular named site MLTNET
                goes through the ARPANET initial connection
                protocol with the remote site in order to
                establish a duplex connection with it.

NAMES:
        syntax: NAMES

                using the QUIT command.

                previously associated with 1.

FLUSH:
        syntax: FLUSH 
        effect: Breaks the network connection with the ARPANET
                site associated with  and, in addition,

HOSTS:
        syntax: HOSTS
