Thanks again for all of the input.
For anyone playing along, here are some things I have stumbled over. There
may be ways around them but I didn't dig to find the answers. If anyone has
the answer, please feel free to pass it on.
1) ssh exists in Windows 10 but it only works with the iSeries (not sure
about other systems) when run in PowerShell. I could not get it to work
with command, with or without admin.
2) If there is a $ in your library or program name, the call fails. All of
my development libraries begin with a $ so I can do a backup of $*.
3) It does not like the "(" when trying to specify "parms() for the call".
4) I was able to pass a single parm ('system "CALL MSSUTILS/HELLOWORLD
John"') but did not figure out how to pass multiple parms.
5) When passing a parm, it converted it to uppercase...in the above call,
John became JOHN.

OK, great. So what is your plan on the Windows side of things? Is it other
people developing the Windows script, and they are telling you that they
want SSH?
Or will you be responsible for the Windows script as well?
If it's other people, do you happen to know what they are using to develop
the script?
