Hi Neil,

Thanks for your reply.
rexec allows you to remotely execute a command on a unix computer.
You just issue a single line that includes the unix host, login name and the
command you want to execute.
After issuing rexec, it asks for your password.
Leonid's example solved my problem, because it allowed me to use either
telnet or rexec.
