This is a bit confusing, Howard. PROP is running in OPERATOR, started by OPERATOR's PROFILE EXEC and it should be running disconnected (in fact, that should be the setting in SYSTEM CONFIG). The logical operator should be OP1, logged on and monitored by wetware (people). And to issue commands to OPERATOR, use MSG, not SEND. You want OPERATOR to pick up the command and process it through the RTABLE. If you use SEND, it's like typing on the console and the only interesting command is STOP.
