I guess.  You intend to echo one line and disconnect?  Don't feel like
closing the connection explicitly?

I cannot miss the "((let" in line 2.  I rarely see that in code --
only when someone has a short (let ...) snippet that looks up a
procedure (for a fancy dispatch).  My paren flasher suggests you are
passing it zero arguments.  You don't get an error message before the
disconnect, about a bogus value that should be a procedure?
