                      7: .B gaptelnet [host [connection-type]]
                      8: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      9: .I Gaptelnet
                     10: is used to create a virtual terminal session
                     11: with another host using the XNS Gateway Access Protocol,
                     12: version 3.
                     13: Thus, it can be used to communicate with a Xerox server running Services
                     14: 8.0, with an XDE workstation running RemoteExec.bcd, with a Xerox ITS, 
                     15: with a Berkeley UNIX system running GAP3d,
                     16: etc.
                     17: .PP
                     18: If

                     20: is invoked without arguments, it enters command mode,
                     21: indicated by its prompt (\fBgaptelnet>\fR).
                     22: In this mode, it accepts and executes the commands listed below.
                     23: If it is invoked with arguments, it performs an
                     24: .I open
                     25: command (see below) with those arguments.
                     26: .PP
                     27: Once a connection has been opened,
                     28: .I gaptelnet
                     29: enters input mode.
                     30: In this mode, text typed is sent to the remote host.  
                     31: .CO
                     32: To issue
                     33: .I gaptelnet
                     34: commands when in input mode, precede them with the
                     35: .I gaptelnet
                     36: escape character (initially ^]).
                     37: When in command mode, the normal 
                     38: terminal editing conventions are available.
                     39: Only enough of each command to uniquely identify it is

                     43: opens a connection to the named host.  If a connection type

                     45: .I gaptelnet
                     46: attempts to contact a GAP server as a system administration service.
                     47: Alternatives for connection-type include ``sa'', ``exec'' (for remote
                     48: executive'', and ``its'' (for interactive terminal service).
                     49: The host specification may be either a host name (e.g.
                     50: ``CornellS1'' or ``gvax:computer science:cornell-univ'')
                     51: or an XNS address.  If domain and organization are unspecified,

                     65: This command only works when the user is using the
