  22. Could someone explain the following:
  23.  
  24. [/home/cornellr/bin] C-Kermit>echo \v(local)
  25. 0
  26. [/home/cornellr/bin] C-Kermit> ; escape back
  27. (Back at pluto)
  28. [/home/cornellr] C-Kermit>echo \v(local)
  29. 1
  30. [/home/cornellr] C-Kermit>c
  31. Connecting to host 175.2.1.2.
  32. The escape character is Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS)
  33. Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
  34. or followed by ? to see other options.
  35.  
  36. [/home/cornellr/bin] C-Kermit>quit
  37. >exit
  38.  
  39. Communications disconnect (Back at pluto)
  40. [/home/cornellr] C-Kermit>echo \v(local)
  41. 1
  42. [/home/cornellr] C-Kermit>set host
  43.  Closing connection
  44. [/home/cornellr] C-Kermit>echo \v(local)
  45. 1
  46.  
  47. I may have misinterpreted what LOCAL does, I was under the
  48. impression that it returned 1 if kermit has an outgoing connection,
  49. 0 otherwise.
