Oops, ok... I goofed. I replied to someone's query about what sys$net is for awhile back (like yesterday) and used the wrong syntax in an example. I gave the syntax for OPENing a file type channel to a remote node and said to use $ TYPE, which is for task operations. To use the task operation properly, you can put a commmand procedure in your default directory on a remote node like the following... $ show users/output=sys$net $ lo Then, you can use the following to call it.... $ type node"username password"::"task=filename" where filename is the name of your command procedure. One word of warning, though... Don't put your password in a file anywhere in your account and don't let anyone use it. Your system manager will get very upset. Please disregard the last note from me regarding sys$net. It's been so long I didn't know what I was saying. :-) Regards, Mike@Loyvax
