        !            41: The network will notify the user when the command has
        !            42: been executed and will return to him any output or error indication by `writing'
        !            43: (see

        !            56: If a remote machine is not specified, the default one is used.
        !            57: The machine name may be a one letter abbreviation or a full name;
        !            58: upper\- and lower\-case distinctions are ignored.

        !            67: .I respfile

        !            93: flag forces all acknowledgment and output messages to be mailed
        !            94: rather than written on the terminal.
        !            95: Options do not need to be separated by spaces,
        !            96: i.e. either ``\-m C'' or ``\-mC'' is accepted.
        !            97: There are also other options intended to be used by
        !            98: higher level application programs and shell scripts only;

        !           101: The net command prepares a file to be sent to the remote machine
