The URL you suggested does not explain how I can perform the
operation on another computer in the network when no domain
controller is present. Thanks anyhow.

You can use the command in a batch file - run it on each computer as a
startup script as you like.
Without a domain, a lot of things are painful - you don't get many options
for centralized admin.

I am running a small network made up of XP Pro computers (no
domain). I can add an user to a localgroup on a remote machine via
the "Computer management" console, but I could not find any way of
accomplishing this task through the NET command or scripting.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

net localgroup ?
