The "send" and "request" commands work just how Kevin wrote that they should work but it seems to me like the "open" and "close" commands were left to halfway. Because the "send" and "request" commands work only with applications already running in some server you need something else to start them. I understood that the "open ::" should do the work but it only tries to find from the local machine and shows the normal open file dialog instead of the new network program dialog. I've also tried "open program ..." but that didn't work either. Does anyone have any more documentation about the new features or maybe Kevin could give us some new hints ... -- Ilkka
