You may be right, but I would think there is something that could be added
to the above because when ever I let the application initiate the
connection, the Remote Access Status window opens and displays progress as
connection is made. The only application that does not do this for me is
Outlook Express.
Also, I was looking at the dictionary for Remote Access Commands Scripting

dictionaries out yet... Jim
