Glen hit it all on the head.
Will, when you say you want AccuTerm to do something, in this case AccuTerm
is doing nothing but passing the message along to some other process that
will actually do the function.  The only need to ever include AccuTerm or
wIntegrate in a complex function is when you Need the client to perform the
operation because the server cannot.  If all you want to do is call Web
Services, you can do that directly from your MV platforms.  If you Need the
_client_ to do the function then have the client shell out, execute the
function, return data to a local file, then send the local file to the
server for processing.  I dunno about glass speedbump but that's sure the
sort of unnecessary Rube Goldberg contraption that Pick people create way
too often.

To _execute_ "the function", use the sequence ESC STX > thefunction CR.
Check the AT Help for details and alternatives.

The magic bit I have to leave out is exactly what is that function/code on
the client that calls a web service and parses XML?  Well, the world is
full of examples and it's up to you to roll your own or find some code to
do what you need - but the Accuterm part is as easy as it is unnecessary.

As always I can help if required.

Good luck,
Tony
