JayJay: Neither one of these verbs are invoked if someone logs onto an account and goes directly to TCL (no menu desired). For instance, one creates a UO account with Q-Pointers, ON.ABORT, and a few other things to allow extraction of data. :-) The two functions you refer to are accessed, I bel

ON.ERROR ON.ABORT (and remote verbs) JayJay It's funny. D3 has the capability to assign a macro to any user who gets to tcl (or the debug prompt). Often this macro is either a login (again) or a logoff. Works great. U2 doesn't seem to have addressed this issue because their client base has
