A console app, yes. http://realopen.org/projects/portcommandline/ eg pcl -a 127.0.0.1 -p 6352 -c hello -v returns 'world' if I have my app running Using tcpip or ipc http://realopen.org/projects/balancedserverg/ Even better, can myapp "answer" back to FileMaker with the result of a > calcul or User entry in an edit field. Using the free shell plugin, yes pcl -a 127.0.0.1 -p 6352 -c hello -v returned 'world' into the sample shell.fp5 example on my machine. -- Keith Hutchison http://balance-infosystems.com http://realopen.org http://www.kasamba.com/Keith-Hutchison _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
