Oops, ok... I goofed. I replied to someone's query about what sys$net is for
awhile back (like yesterday) and used the wrong syntax in an example.

I gave the syntax for OPENing a file type channel to a remote node and
said to use $ TYPE, which is for task operations. To use the task operation
properly, you can put a commmand procedure in your default directory on a
remote node like the following...

$ show users/output=sys$net
$ lo

Then, you can use the following to call it....

$ type node"username password"::"task=filename"

where filename is the name of your command procedure. One word of warning,
though... Don't put your password in a file anywhere in your account and
don't let anyone use it. Your system manager will get very upset.

Please disregard the last note from me regarding sys$net. It's been so long
I didn't know what I was saying.  :-)
