Hey guys,

A few questions from a beginner. :)

What does the \r in system("\r\n\r"); do?
Where can I find some info on the system function/method? Is it function
or method? What is the proper terminology?
And regarding all system ("command")'s below is the parenthesis required
around the quotations or is it just for aesthetics?

Does anyone have something like this for Windows Telnet connecting to
Exchange? 

Thanks 

AD....
