question 2 The "name" to associate with this command when displaying the results.
question 3 The path to the program to be run.
question 4 The arguments to pass to $3

token	 pass
info	 Run a command that intepretes the request for an entire tree.

steal pass

token proxy
info  Proxy requests to an external agent running somewhere else
info  This passes all requests for a certain point of the mib tree to
info  an external agent using snmp requests and then returning the
info  results to the caller that spoke to our agent.
info  arguments: [snmpcmd args] host oid [remoteoid]
question 1 Enter the "snmpcmd" arguments that specify how to talk to the remote host
question 2 The host you want to pass the requests to
qusetion 3 The oid that we should pass beyond
question 4 The oid of the remote site that we should talk to if different from $3

token	sh

token dlmod
info dynamically extend the agent using a shared-object
info	arguments:  module-name module-path
question 1 Enter the name of the module
question 2 Enter the path to the $1 module
