Close, but not quite accurate. The ADDRESS instruction has several different
forms, one of which allows a command to be sent to a host defined as a literal
symbol or string. For example,
ADDRESS COMMAND 'status'
sends 'status' to the COMMAND host. If the desired host address is contained
in a variable, you must use the form
ADDRESS value varname
to change the host address, and then simply issue the command, as in
'mycommand' myarg1 myarg2
It's not possible to both change the host address and issue a command with a
single instruction.
The current setting of the default host can be retrieved for later use with the
address() function.
