remote.c:remote_open_1's use of from_tty

I'm trying to decide what the rules are for checking from_tty
when determining whether to print something.
I'm guessing one rule is that when running scripts there is
a preference for them to be quieter than when the same commands
are done interactively.  It kinda makes debugging a bit more difficult
though.

Is that the reason for the check for from_tty here?

  if (from_tty)
    {
      puts_filtered ("Remote debugging using ");
      puts_filtered (name);
      puts_filtered ("\n");
    }

Hmmm, after studying it a bit more,
what if we reach the end of a page and the user "quits"?
I don't know remote.c very well but it looks like the target will
be in a half-open state.  Am I missing something?
