-If this member is set to a value other than \code{None} it should point

-Close a connection. When \var{now} is zero, the close is orderly

-individual configuration parameters can be modified by simply appending
-something like \code{'baud 4800'} to the end of the string returned by

-encountered an error (or completed successfully).

-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Choose}{}
-Present the user with a dialog to choose a communication tool and
-configure it. If there is an outstanding connection some choices (like
