EMT (EMULATE_TERMINAL) -- Emulate a dumb terminal.
usage:  EMT [emt_command_file]


FORMAT

  EMT [pathname]


  EMT  allows  your  node  to  emulate  an  ASCII  terminal connected to another
  computer.  This asynchronous connection exists through a stream opened on  one
  of  the  node's  SIO lines.  EMT also permits ASCII file transfer between your
  node and the remote host.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (optional)         Specify file containing EMT commands.

                     Default if omitted:  read commands from standard input

  COMMANDS

  STREAMS USAGE

  EMT uses the four standard streams (standard  input,  standard  output,  error
  input, and error output) as follows:

     o EMT  commands  are  read  from  an EMT command file or from standard
       input.  The command filename may be specified on the command line or
       using the EMT 'run' command.  Up to four levels of command files may
       be nested.  When EOF is reached on a command file, commands are read
       from the previous file or from standard input.  If EOF is reached on
       standard input, EMT exits.

     o Keystrokes to be sent to the  host  computer  are  read  from  error
       input.    Error  input may not be redirected to a file.  Use the EMT
       'xmit' command to transmit a file (of commands or data) to the host.
       Use the EMT 'rcv' command to receive host transmissions to a  DOMAIN
       file.

     o EMT  Command responses and all messages from the host are written to
       standard output.

     o Error messages from AEGIS system calls are written to error  output.
       Optional  monitoring (MONIT) may also be written to error output (or
       to a named file).
