But the test will continue if it is underway. If it isn't the first entry in 
worktodo.ini the result will be that the entry is removed by the 
program when PrimeNet signals this back.

QA is different - if the exponent is in currently active PrimeNet 
ranges you're stuffed, because PrimeNet can only cope with one 
person "owning" an exponent at a time & QA runs execute in 
parallel, whilst PrimeNet will completely disown exponents outside 
its current active ranges.

I run QA assignments with PrimeNet comms disabled.
