CLIENT SCRIPTS
--------------
-Lines in client scripts are of two kinds:
+Lines in client scripts are of several kinds:
(1) If a line begins with three question marks and a space, the rest of the
line defines the start of expected output from the server. If what is
received does not match, the client bombs out with an error message.
