Ah, looks like & is being treated as something that separates commands. I don't see how to turn that off (in my 2 minutes of looking). But that's only the start of Dan's problems. If I recall correctly he said he was planning to simulate Alt-Tab followed by scraping information from screens displayed on the PC. I wouldn't even try that for love or money. Especially not in Java, but not even in a language that lets you hack Windows.

The ampersand (&) is treated by DOS as a command separator. You can escape it I think with the caret (^) symbol. This was discussed recently on one of the other lists--probably Midrange-L--so search the archives. There is a way to pass the URL query variables to the client.
