Ah... well that's a slightly different situation. I do not recall any way USERA to issue a message to a server, which then relays it to another server and spontaneously re-routes the output back to USERA.
If nothing else were happening during that timeframe, USERA could SET OBSERVER ON for that server, issue the command to the server, have the server send it to OPERATOR, and since you are OBSERVE'ing the server you would see the reply and could SET OBSERVER OFF. But that is sooo timing dependent, and sooo reliant on someone else not issuing a command while you are observing the server. Uuuuuugly! Or, since you own the server, which is presumably running WAKEUP, or Kris's RXSERVER, or Finn's PIPESERV (latter two on the IBM VM Download page), or some other server code, you could teach the server to accept commands for it to execute and return the results to you. I wrote a WAKEUP SAMPEXEC (recently posted to the list, search the archives) which could be easily modified to do that. E.g. CP SMsg serverid cmd: command for some other server When "serverid" receives the "cmd:" it checks to see if the sender is one of the select few authorized to do that, issues the command, traps the response, and sends it to the issuing user with MSGNOH.

Maybe I should have been more clear. BOB is not a pearson, but another service machine (maybe PROP, or RSCS) that will respond to the sender as he sees it. I.E. MSG OP CMD Q V DASD and PROP will return the output of Q V DASD to me. If I send via my server machine the response is returned to the server not to me. I thought I remembered a way that we could send MSG, SMSG, etc. 'asuser'. I may be mis-remembering.

To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Hi, I seem to remember a program or mod that allowed the 'FROM' part of a command to be changed... Example .. I do MSG serverid CP MSG BOB HI .. Then the serverid would invoke the 'mod' and CP MSG BOB HI. But to BOB it would look like the message came from me NOT from the server machine. Or is it possible that it's not October leaves the neighbor is burning?
