        !            33: .I Rsh
        !            34: copies its standard input to the remote command, the standard
        !            35: output of the remote command to its standard output, and the
        !            36: standard error of the remote command to its standard error.
        !            37: Interrupt, quit and terminate signals are propagated to the remote
        !            38: command; \fIrsh\fP normally terminates when the remote command does.

        !            48: .PP
        !            49: If you omit
        !            50: .I command,
        !            51: then instead of executing a single command, you will be logged in

        !            55: Shell metacharacters which are not quoted are interpreted

        !            77: is rather long and unambiguous, and optionally one or more nicknames.
        !            78: The host names for local machines are also commands in the directory
