Could someone explain the following:
[/home/cornellr/bin] C-Kermit>echo \v(local)
0
[/home/cornellr/bin] C-Kermit> ; escape back
(Back at pluto)
[/home/cornellr] C-Kermit>echo \v(local)
1
[/home/cornellr] C-Kermit>c
Connecting to host 175.2.1.2.
The escape character is Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS)
Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
or followed by ? to see other options.
[/home/cornellr/bin] C-Kermit>quit
>exit
Communications disconnect (Back at pluto)
[/home/cornellr] C-Kermit>echo \v(local)
1
[/home/cornellr] C-Kermit>set host
Closing connection
[/home/cornellr] C-Kermit>echo \v(local)
1
I may have misinterpreted what LOCAL does, I was under the
impression that it returned 1 if kermit has an outgoing connection,
0 otherwise.
