.It Ar pstatus assocID
Sends a read status request to the server for the given association. The
names and values of the peer variables returned will be printed. Note that
the status word from the header is displayed preceding the variables, both
in hexidecimal and in pidgeon English.

.It Ar readlist [ assocID ]
.It rl [ assocID ]
Requests that the values of the variables in the internal variable list
be returned by the server. If the association ID is omitted or is 0 the
variables are assumed to be system variables. Otherwise they are treated
as peer variables. If the internal variable list is empty a request is
sent without data, which should induce the remote server to return a default
display.

Requests that the values of the specified variables be returned by the
server by sending a read variables request. If the association ID is omitted
or is given as zero the variables are system variables, otherwise they
are peer variables and the values returned will be those of the corresponding
peer. Omitting the variable list will send a request with no data which
should induce the server to return a default display.
