Hi Ken,

Almost lost your message in my spam folder. :-) I recommend subscribing to the
mailing list when sending messages, there's a lot of spam that would get through
if we open it up again...

There's no formal documentation about the backdoor commands, unfortunately, 
other than the source code itself. A few of them are defined as SunRPC 
interfaces and are a bit easier to figure out, but others (the older ones) can 
get pretty nasty.

Parts of it are because we don't want to encourage people to write applications 
on top of the backdoor. Since to process the message you need code in the 
VMware 
process in the host (which is not open-source), it makes it a little difficult 
for people to play with the backdoor...
