Hi Ralph The Xlauch, program is always running on her PC, she runs putty to establish the link between her PC and my PC, once the putty window appears she then logs in with her own username and password which is an account on my linux machine, once logged in she types the command "kmymoney" (which is the application she is running) at the prompt which then opens up in its own window with the putty window running in the background. She exits the program in the normal manner then logout of my PC I am not sure she is running an xterm, unless that what the putty window is?? I assume that she would type the printf \\a after logging into my PC??
