During a session with a remote host, you can toggle between
    the local TELNET or TN3270 process and the connected host. For
    example, at the TELNET prompt, you might want to display status,
    modify a TELNET parameter, or spawn a DCL subprocess.

    o  To return to the local TELNET or TN3270 prompt (TELNET command
       mode), enter the TELNET escape sequence (the default is
       Ctrl/]) at the remote host's prompt (TELNET input mode).

    o  To resume your session with the remote host, enter one of the
       following at the TELNET (or TN3270) prompt.

       TELNET> <Return>

       or

       TELNET>  RESUME

       or

       TELNET> RESUME n

       where n is the number of the session to which you want to
       return.

    o  To change the default escape sequence, enter the following at
       the TELNET (or TN3270) prompt:

       TELNET> SET ESCAPE "^escape_character"

    1. The following example toggles between remote UNIX host biway
       and the local OpenVMS system.

       biway> <Ctrl/]>  (characters not echoed)
       TELNET> SHOW STATUS
       Session  1 Active  Host biway Port 23
           Operating Mode: Character-at-a-time
           Escape character: '^]'
           Options:
              Echo - Remote
              Terminal Type - Local
              Terminal Type - VT300
              Suppress Go Ahead - Local
              Suppress Go Ahead - Remote
           Terminal Dataoveruns:    0
           Suspended Network I/Os:  0

          .
          .
          .
       TELNET>  <Return>
       biway>

    2. In the next example, user BENTLEY, working at OpenVMS node
       EAGLE, uses TELNET to do the following:

       1. Establish a connection to UNIX host fern.

       2. Return to the local TELNET prompt.

       3. Display status.

       4. Establish a connection to host gannet.

       5. Return to the TELNET prompt.

       6. Display status.

       7. Connect to sands. But sands closes the connection because
          BENTLEY incorrectly enters the password three times.

       8. Try to resume the session with gannet. However, RESUME
          without specifying a session number fails:

          -  With multiple sessions, RESUME's default is the
             "active" session, the one with the most recently opened
             connection.

          -  The host to which BENTLEY connected most recently is
             sands. However, because BENTLEY incorrectly typed
             the password during login, sands closed the TELNET
             connection and displayed the following:

             No current session.

          -  Because no connection is active (or current), BENTLEY
             must specify a session number on the RESUME command
             line.

       $ TELNET FERN
          .
          .
          .
       fern> <Ctrl/]>   (characters not echoed)

       TELNET> SHOW STATUS
       Session  2 Active  Host GANNET
           Operating Mode: Character-at-a-time
           Escape character: '^]'
          .
