A-Shell Consolidated Reference

TELSER <port#> <startup-command> {switches}

(Windows only) TELSER allows you to turn your current A-Shell/Windows session into a single-client telnet server. That is, it proceeds to listen on the specified port for a standard telnet client connection, at which point, the remote telnet client takes over the session. This is a rather advanced (or perhaps obscure) capability, which is mainly of use for remote support (sort of like pcAnywhere) or for environments where your application was written to depend on the capabilities of a particular terminal emulator.
