Not only is the use of this option undocumented, but how to write a program that does this yourself is also undocumented. Any clue how to do this? It seems that any program written with the Application Kit will support -host (thanks to those who mailed me; I'd credit you but I deleted the mail. sorry). That is nice, but what if I want my program to throw windows up on four different machines and interact with those users simultaneously. NextStep needs more network support than "run me on another machine". Much more. Scott - - - - - - - - - - Scott Draves | Space...
