RE: How to open a client access session from another session

Booth:

When we discussed, you didn't clarify whether the environment you're in allows 
TCP/IP or not; just enough info went back and forth to get you started easily.

In order to develop the next level, is this possible:

  strpccmd pccmd(telnet my.as400.ip.addr) pause(*no)

If telnet works, you can start the coding for detecting the device on the 
AS/400 side -- you can get the remote location of the current session easily 
enough. And you'll have a second session to test secondary displays, though 
they won't be pretty and there'll be some limitations.

Otherwise:

  strpccmd pccmd(pcsws.exe /o) pause(*no)

...also "works", but the lack of a .WS is an irritation for sure. Perhaps a 
default .WS could be downloaded first. Perhaps even a mapped drive reference 
back to one in the IFS?

I'd swear I recalled more external control via switches on PCSWS.EXE years ago, 
but I sure can't find any references now. Maybe I was misremembering some 
EHLLAPI stuff.
