+You can also tell the task to translate any properties that it sees in the read
+or write statements. This behaviour is disabled by default because of the likelehood 
+that a shell expansion statement may be mistaken for an Ant property.<br>
+For example, the following can be used:
+<blockquote><pre>
+&lt;telnet userid=&quot;bob&quot; password=&quot;badpass&quot; server=&quot;localhost&quot; timeout=&quot;20&quot;&gt;
+   &lt;read&gt;/home/bob&lt;/read&gt;
+   &lt;write translateProperties=&quot;true&quot;&gt;cd ${AppDir}&lt;/write&gt;
+&lt;/telnet&gt;
+</pre></blockquote>
+

 <p>
 To use this task against the WinNT telnet service, you need to configure the service to use 
 classic authentication rather than NTLM negotiated authentication.
