Not very clear. Have you got EIMS installed on your machine too? I

Thanks much for the response and I'll try to make it a little clearer if
I can. EIMS is setup on a 7300 running OS9 (OS9 box I mentioned above). I
am trying to control it from my G3 running OSX across my LAN. I have the
7300 disk mounted on the desktop of my G3 via appletalk and have given
the full path to EIMS on that box in my script. If I was running it in
classic on my G3 I probably would have no problems either. The problems I
experience with my setup are exactly as I described above. I don't know
how to clarify that part any better. Hopefully that will help clarify my
problems. I _really_ would appreciate any suggestions if I have managed
to clear up my setup enough to help anyone understand the issue. Thanks again!
