Charles,

Does RUNRMTCMD or STRPCCMD do a wait until remote app completion ?

IMHO, RUNRMTCMD is a great choice for batch applications, but a poor choice for interactive ones.

STRPCCMD is a great choice for interactive applications.  The only weakness is the 128-char limit of teh command line you pass to it...but the archives show plenty of ways around that.
