The remote-cache BASIC program increases the performance of updates over a network by sending groups of updates at a time.
Typically, each update made on a remote file is sent immediately to the remote site. Because of limitations in network throughput, this can introduce performance delays in batch update applications. To alleviate this issue, batch updates can be cached and sent in groups. This significantly improves performance almost to the same point as a series of local updates.

To turn off update-caching and to flush the cache, use the second syntax form.
To set the number of updates to be cached before being sent, use the third syntax form. The higher the number of updates, the better the performance will be.
