The Question is: I need to modify a watchdog program that runs and kills processes to send a sequence of characters that will be enterpreted by the Emulator being used by the user. By sending this escape sequence/command, the emulator will close itself. The point being that confidential information may not be left on the screen after the watchdog program kills the process on the Server side. I tried reply/term=,but this does something to the escape sequence that makes it change somehow so that it does not work. I am a lso trying a fortran program with Sys$assign and a Sys$qio call, but a can't assign a channel to the terminal cause it is already assigned. I need to write to this terminal screen without any filtering of the message I send. The process I will send this from, will have any privlege required at its disposal. Thanks Alot, Douglas N. Smith HBO and Company Amherst, MA 01002 The Answer is : If you need to alter the contents of the terminal display, write the escape sequence(s) necessary before issuing the $delprc. In other words, $assign a channel to the target using SHARE privilege, write the escape sequence, deassign the channel, then issue the $delprc.
