If you are open to a commercial offering, we have the Office Integrator 
product that can be used to run commands on a PC from the command line 
of the i. An app on the PC has to be run to receive the requests - there 
is an enhancement that will work slightly differently, on its way pretty 
soon.

Call 888.rjs.soft toll-free or email me or Richard, who is also on these 
lists - or email sales.rjssoftware.com
