  <pre><code>gremlin&gt; :remote connect tinkerpop.server conf/remote.yaml
  ==&gt;Configured localhost/127.0.0.1:8182
  gremlin&gt; :remote console
  ==&gt;All scripts will now be sent to Gremlin Server - 
  [localhost/127.0.0.1:8182] - type ':remote console' to return to local mode
  gremlin&gt; a = "b"
  ==&gt;b
