close [<session_number>]
_________________________________________________________________
Close the specified session. If you are running only one
session, entering 'close' without arguments will close the
session. If you have multiple sessions, entering 'close' without
arguments will initiate a close on the current session.
If you are running multiple sessions, the 'session' command will
display a list of these sessions.
Entering 'close' with a session number argument will initiate a
close on the specified session.
On an AX.25 session, this command initiates a disconnect.
On an FTP or Telnet session, this command sends a FIN (i.e.
initiates a close) on the session's TCP connection. This is an
alternative to asking the remote host to initiate a close (QUIT
to FTP, or the logout command appropriate for the remote system
in the case of Telnet).
If you are in an FTP or Telnet Converse session, you will have to
press <F10> to escape to the "net>" prompt to issue the 'close'
command. When either FTP or Telnet sees the incoming half of a
TCP connection close, it automatically responds by closing the
outgoing half of the connection. 'Close' is more graceful than
the 'reset' command, in that it is less likely to leave the
remote host in a "half-open" state.
