Sending commands to arduino through wifly shield?

Development Boards Arduino
1

I have my wifly attached to the arduino uno and connected to a network using the following code:

#include <WiFly.h>
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

WiFly wifly(2,3);

void setup () {
  
 Serial.begin(9600);
 wifly.sendCommand("join test1\r","AOK");
 wifly.sendCommand("set i d 2\r", "AOK");
}
 
 void loop() {
  while (wifly.available()) {
    Serial.write(wifly.read());
  }
  
  while (Serial.available()) {
    wifly.write(Serial.read());
  }
}

I can telnet into the wifly and send it the basic commands that are included in the user manual but how do i communicate with the arduino board from the telnet client? I want to turn on an led in pin 9 on the arduino for instance.
