The RLOGIN (Remote Login) command connects your terminal to the
remote host you specify and requests a login. If the remote host
has an entry in its authentication files for your host and user
name, it may bypass its login and password prompts.
Note that you can also use TELNET to log in to remote internet
hosts.
End your remote login session in one of the following ways:
o Log out from the remote host.
o On a new line, enter the escape character and a period.
The default escape character is a tilde ( ~ ). To set another
escape character, use the /ESCAPE_CHARACTER qualifier on the
RLOGIN command line.
