I've never tried the open.read from/write process commands - would those be another way to do this?
Back in the days when I worked on HP3000 computers, they had something called message files. They were basically files that any number of processes could write to and one process could read from and as a record was read, it was deleted from the file. It was a great and very easy way to implement client/server communications.
