Yikes. Even less intuitive. I'd better save that one in my command file!
Thanks.

Well since telnet tells you when it first connects how to go into
command mode, it is not clear that "intuition" is needed.
"Escape character is '^]'"
is what telnet says once you connect.
And then you have to remember Q for Quit.
