      Re-write to allow options in any order, more control over all behavior · 49053f31
      Rob Swindell authored
      Previously, in order to just specify the terminal-type string, the sysop
      would also have to pass new values for the tg-mode, client-name and
      server-name, which was not very friendly. We still support the old syntax
      where order of arguments matters, but also a new better syntax for options
      (which may now come before or after the required address[:port] argument):
      
      -c <client-name> (default: user alias)
      -s <server-name> (default: user real name)
      -t <terminal-type> (e.g. "xtrn=doorcode" to auto-exec door on server)
      -T <connect-timeout-seconds> (default: 10 seconds)
      -m <telnet-gateway-mode> (Number or TG_* vars OR'd together, default: 0)
      -p send current user alias and password as server and client-name values
      -q don't display banner or pause prompt displayed (quiet)
      -P don't pause for user key-press
      -C don't clear screen after successful session
      
      For arguments that take a value (e.g. -c, -s, -t, -T, -m), the value may
      immediately follow the option letter (e.g. "-cMyName") or be specified
      in the following argument (e.g. "-c MyName"). Multiple options cannot be
      stuck together in the same option (e.g. use '-C -P' instead of '-CP').
      
      If the RLogin server is a Synchronet BBS, you probably want to specify the
      '-p' option which will send the current user's alias and password in the
      RLogin connection parameters that Synchronet expects them.
      
      The sysop now has better control over the output (banner, screen-clearing)
      and the pause prompt that was previously hard-coded.
