.SH SYNOPSIS
.B KBtin
[
.I -v
] [
.I scriptfile

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B KBtin
is a MUD client based on the venerable
.B tintin++
; however it has uses beyond playing MUDs.
.br
A few commands (try #help for the full list):
.TP
.BI #session " " sesname " " hostname " " port
Starts a new session. The
.I sesname
is a nickname of the new session, and doesn't play any important role.
KBtin will open a telnet connection to the given
.I hostname
:
.IR port .
.TP
.BI #run " " sesname " " command
Starts a new session by running a local command. In particular, you can
use it to start an encrypted connection by
.IR "#run foo ssh foo.bar.baz" .
.TP
.BI #help " " command
Gives you the help on
.IR command.
.TP
.B #verbatim
Disables all input parsing, making all text pass as-is. Features such
as scrollback, highlights, logging, keybindings or actions continue to
work.
