>>Thanks. When the explorer is run on the server and you open the topmost directory in the left panel and page down in the right panel, it is very slow. With other directories the problem is not as severe. When connection is made from a terminal the slow process described above completely freezes the terminal.

Fred and Alex,

The problem has been solved. There were two shortcut files in the disk that for some unknown reason choked up the windows and NT explorers. Once deleted via DOS command boxes, the problem went away. I have never heard about anything like that. Glad it wasn't my app causing it!!

Thanks for your help.
