Spotted a few mentions of Eclipse in the new CLI doc worth fixing, but otherwise looks great!

title: "Exploring Galasa SimBank using the CLI"
---
Distributed with Galasa, SimBank is a component that simulates a mainframe application. It sits above another component called SimPlatform, which exists to provide options for future growth. As delivered, SimBank implements a sample banking application against which you can configure and run a set of provided tests in preparation for running your own tests against an *actual* mainframe application. You can also practice writing some new tests to run against the SimBank banking application.

"It sits above another component called SimPlatform, which exists to provide options for future growth." seems a bit vague.

When you launch SimBank, its banking application listens on port 2023 for incoming client Telnet connections, offering an opportunity to first connect to it manually to review and understand the (simulated) transactions it supports, before subjecting it to Galasa's provided tests.

### Logging in to the simulated application
1. With Eclipse and the *Galasa SimBank* component still running, configure your 3270 terminal emulator to access port *2023* of *localhost* (or IP address 127.0.0.1 if the *localhost* alias has not been set up) via the Telnet protocol. No SSL configuration is required.

Remove Eclipse...
"With the Galasa SimBank server still running..."?
