   I don't have any experience programming handlers so I have no idea if
this is possible, but would a handler work for security on a AUX: connection
running a shell?  I envision something that hangs (a SECURE: device?) out and
waits for a CLI command  to ask for a directory that is on a list of secure
directories.  Could something like this work and not cause problems for stuff 
that really should have access (like C: commands)?  

Is there a good source for info on writing handlers, I'm a student (read 
"broke") and thus don't have RKM's... so I geuss I'm looking for a cheep
alternative.

   Thanks for any help and if anybody is working on something like this (or
has it) please email me at:
