Joe,

If the user is logged in already, no login dialog should appear. If Francisco 
is connected via TCP/IP, he can use FTP to execute a command on the AS/400, via 
a script, which can also specify user profile and password, although this is 
something of a security exposure unless he uses a special user profile with 
very limited capabilities. It doesn't matter if the user is different than the 
one that is logged in on the PC. Note that FTP does honor the LMTCPB switch in 
the user profile, and the CALL command does not allow execution by limited 
capability users.
