This is all very interesting, but I am more interested in the items that
aren't in the text version of the manual.  For example, COOKIE, HOSTNAME,
GW, POP2, RED and REXEC aren't covered in the manual that I have.

I would like to use the software to login to the VAX, do remote printing,
read/send mail, and check the news.  With the PCIP software that I can
figure out, I am most of the way there.
