Setting the display to quiet suppresses display of responses
from the remote host. The command works, but Kermit has discarded the
output (part of nothing to show). Hence \v(query) is also empty. Only
another REM QUERY can fill up \v(query) again. The reasons for all this
are rather technical in that retaining the response of a command to a
server normally isn't done (memory consumption problems) so we have to
play some games to see if a buffer is still valid and if so stuff it into
\v(query). Display regular/quiet comes into the act half way through the
Rem Query part and there isn't anything in a buffer to use as \v(query).
