The {string} is sent as-is. The response will be what can be read from the
channel right away. Since Vim doesn't know how to recognize the end of the
message you need to take care of it yourself. The timeout applies for reading
the first byte, after that it will not wait for anything more.
-If {mode} is "nl" you can send a message in a similar way. You are expected
+If mode is "nl" you can send a message in a similar way. You are expected
to put in the NL after each message. Thus you can also send several messages
ending in a NL at once. The response will be the text up to and including the
first NL. This can also be just the NL for an empty response.
