Hi,
    In a previous posting <8905200415.AA19215@umix.cc.umich.edu>, I ask:

Let me rephrase my question.  I need to how user.sys_admin, root or
user.locksmith may send a message via send_alarm (or Unix write(1)) to
a node that is running a program in GPR_$borrow mode.
The messages are urgent and therefore, I do not wish to send thro mail.
I need to know how to break thro a window into the node running a GPR_$borrow
mode program like Mentor Graphics' software or local software.
Only lab managers will be doing this (ie sending urgent messages).

Thanx.  -- fclim.
