OK, I got it. Here is my baby steps routine for now:
DELETE netsend.bat
SET VAR vmess TEXT = ('Hello World!' & (ctxt(.#NOW)))
SET VAR vnetsend = ('NET SEND *' & .vmess)
OUTPUT netsend.bat
WRITE .vnetsend
OUTPUT SCREEN
LAUNCH netsend.bat
RETURN

Emmitt,
I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean that I can:
SET VAR MESSAGE = 'This is my message'
And then issue NET SEND %MESSAGE%?

Claudine,
Use R:BASE to write a .CMD file, say NETMSG.CMD, and substitute for the
variables. Then:
LAUNCH netmsg.cmd

Frank Taylor got me good and started on this path and I have setup my three
users to receive NET SEND messages and have tested them -real easy.
My question now is how do I customize the message by using R:BASE variables
in the NET SEND command?
NET SEND %RECIPIENT% From %FULLNAME%, %MESSAGE%
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Claudine
