It is one possible way but not the only one. GCIC runs in the virtual machine with a disconnected console. After you are done with editing, you can drop from the dial connection. That leaves GCIC still running in the virtual machine. Then, if you wish, you can logon to the virtual machine again. This will reconnect the console, end GCIC and get you back at the CMS Ready prompt, from which you can logoff. :-)
A long time ago, I used GCIC to edit files on CMS, typically programs. But I quickly got tired of having to disconnect/dial to edit the file, then drop/reconnect to run the program. I came back to EDIT.
If I remember well, GCIC is actually an unfinished project with a "for starter" setup (like its public users file with passwords in clear :-)).
