I have a situation.  I have an IBM pc AT that has a dumb terminal
hooked to the COM1 port.  I want to run the PC, in a single user mode,
from the dumb terminal which has a keyboard hooked up to it.  Therefore,
I should have the option of running the PC from the terminal or the
PC itself.  

It is something like Carbon Copy, but there is only one PC and the other
is just a terminal.

Is it possible to take the input from the terminal, through com1, and
use the program on the PC.  The program that will run on the PC is written
and compiled in dbase iv.

I hoped I explained the situation as best as possible.

BTW.. I am using dos 3.30 and the pc is an IBM AT.

thanks,

deryk
