Send the {string} to {server}. The string is sent as an
expression and the result is returned after evaluation.
+ The result must be a String or a |List|. A |List| is turned

If {idvar} is present, it is taken as the name of a
variable and a {serverid} for later use with
remote_read() is stored there.
