Ray at work -
Never done that before (that is, using a shell to run a program) so I
will have to put that on my list of things to learn.
As I see it, the biggest concern I have is that when exiting Terminal
Services Client I might shut down instead of logging off. Oddly, that
is not a concern of his, but I think that his lack of knowledge in an
area (fear of the unknown) is where his real trepidation lies.
Thanks for the response.
Cheers -
george
