RE: Is CODE going to help me?

Yes, this definitely helps.

By monitoring in one window the results of the WRKACTJOB, I can now see
that when STRDBGSVR seems to do nothing, if I first do the ENDPJ command
that you mentioned, it will subsequently start.

I also noticed the QDBGSVR listener if I run NETSTAT and choose
option-3.

So, I think the debug server is now running.

However, the distributed debugger still gives me the message "Connection
refused, most likely STRDBGSVR was not issued".

Vadim, noted that this may be because of firewall issues.  Meaning that
though the connection request from the client to the server may be
getting through, the response (on a randomly selected port) from the
server to the client PC may not be making it through.

Still investigating this.

Thanks for everyone's help so far.
