When referring to a socket, you need to include the host, port and, 
if used, the connection ID (socket ID).

so...

put "somehost:8000|1000" into tSocket
open socket tSocket
write "hello" to socket tSocket
close socket tSocket

The purpose of the connection ID is to allow multiple connections to 
the same host:port combination.
