-To use this feature the default HOSTPORT should be predefined, as in the [[jvs:fscan:manual:chapter1:configfile|CONFIG]] file.
+For example, if you routinely connect to a DBAX database server, you could define 'connect_dbax' in your  [[jvs:fscan:manual:chapter1:configfile|CONFIG]] file as:
+    <uservarb name="connect_dbax">sagan.dhe.duke.edu:5570</uservarb>
+Then you could communicate with that server by simply using commands like:
+<code>
+   -connect dbax query "select subjid,exam,sex,age from exams" 2 examtable
+</code>
