close

        close [<session_number>]

        Close the specified session.  If you are running only one
        session, entering 'close' without arguments will close the
        session.  If you have multiple sessions, entering 'close' without
        arguments will initiate a close on the current session.

        If you are running multiple sessions, the 'session' command will
        display a list of these sessions.

        Entering 'close' with a session number argument will initiate a
        close on the specified session.

        On an AX.25 session, this command initiates a disconnect.

        On an FTP or Telnet session, this command sends a FIN (i.e.
        initiates a close) on the session's TCP connection.  This is an
        alternative to asking the remote host to initiate a close (QUIT
        to FTP, or the logout command appropriate for the remote system
        in the case of Telnet).

        If you are in an FTP or Telnet Converse session, you will have to
        press <F10> to escape to the "net>" prompt to issue the 'close'
        command.  When either FTP or Telnet sees the incoming half of a
        TCP connection close, it automatically responds by closing the
        outgoing half of the connection.  'Close' is more graceful than
        the 'reset' command, in that it is less likely to leave the
        remote host in a "half-open" state.
