Xshell provides local commands for advanced users familiar with the terminal environment.
Basically, Xshell prompt is displayed on the terminal screen when a remote host is not connected. When a session is connected, press 'Ctrl+Alt+]' to exit to local prompt. To return to the remote host mode, enter 'exit' or press 'Ctrl+D'.
