RE: RUNRMTCMD

Thomas,

Was the PC application you are trying to run?

If it is an interactive application such as Acrobat Reader or Word, as Eric
has mentioned, STRPCCMD is a better choice.  RUNRMTCMD is designed for batch
applications and there are gotchas when trying to use it for an interactive
app.

If it is a batch application, does it make use of any network resources?
