Re: GETUSERNAME

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, good to know. I never use STRPCCMD, prefer RUNRMTCMD, and we also 
have a product that I use instead for running things on the PC.

But, as another post says, there seems to be some kind of permission 
involved, too. Too many assumptions for my comfort.

Especially since, in my case, I have a couple nice APIs to keep me warm!

Thanks
Vern
