>I'm very sorry for having to post virtually the same question twice, but I do not believe that I fully explained what I was asking the first time around. I am trying to get a Visual FoxPro Program to run in a telnet session. I know that what I just stated is a complete contradiction because telnet can only display character-based applications, no GUI. I converted the VFP program into a character-based form to make what I'm doing appear possible. The problem that I run into now is that in a telnet session, only programs and text displayed within the CMD.exe shell appear to the user. VFP opens up in a window totally independent of the CMD.exe shell. So when a telnet client initiates the VFP program, he/she sees no part of the program whatsoever. So I need to find out if it is possible to run a VFP character-based app within the CMD.exe shell. I have a sinking feeling that this cannot be done, but it's worth a try.

Sounds like what you want is remote control of another PC over the 'net. Telnet is not the answer here. You might want to take a look at the latest version of Symantec's pcAnywhere (version 9.0), which includes a feature that uses virtual private networking (VPN) to accomplish this. It appears from Symantec's description of this feature that you will need some gateway software on the host side to do this. The latest versions of some of the other popular remote control products such as Carbon Copy, CloseUp, and ReachOut may have Internet features too.

HTH,
