jgt,
Thank you again for the help. I now understand how the program is being started thanks to you training script and the exec command.
I can see that the application is initiated through the user's .profile using the exec command
if I try a
Code:
 #grep username /etc/password

I get
Code:
 grep: cannot open file /etc/password for reading: No such file or directory (error 2)

But I can see that in /etc/passwd
Code:
 username:x:102:50::/u/username:/bin/sh

Every user has their own home directory, and the shell is common
Here is a .profile
Code:
 #
# this is .profile that we use to assign WPTERM variable
#
ABE=ASCII
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/lib:/u/appl/fp:/u/softa/bin:/u/myprog:/usr/sys/conf:/u/wp51/wpbin:/u/wp51/shbin
HOME=/
HZ=50
pp=/u/appl/fp
on=/u/appl/filepro
pf=/u/appl/filepro
up=/updates/u/appl/filepro
sd=/u/softa/bin
mp=/u/myprog
if [ "$TERM" = dialup ]
then
:
echo To use multiscreens - type in '"mscreen -n 4"', use  Alt 1-Alt 4 keys
echo
fi
if   test "$TERM" = dialup -o "$TERM" = unknown
   then
       eval `tset -m :\?${TERM:-ansi} -e -s -r -Q`
fi
if   test "$TERM" = wyse50 -o "$TERM" = wy50
   then
       WPTERM=wyse50
elif   test "$TERM" = wyse60 -o "$TERM" = wy60
   then
       WPTERM=dejaA25
elif test "$TERM" = ansi
   then
 case `tty` in
  /dev/tty[01][0-9]) WPTERM=scoconscol ;;
  /dev/ttyv*) WPTERM=scoconscol ;;
  *) WPTERM=dejaA25 ;;
 esac
elif test "$TERM" = vt100
   then
       WPTERM=vt102
fi
PFTOKSIZE=130000
ver_number=3
export ABE SHELL PATH HOME TERM HZ pp pf sd on WPTERM PFTOKSIZE ver_number mp
getcolor  # optional color for color screens
umask 0000
exec mz gmain

I can see the "exec mz gmain" and when I run that command after I SSH into the box to the command prompt I get right to the application main menu.
I am not clear on the if then else statements but do know that I set the terminal emulator program to use term type as "ansi"
Does this help at all?
Thanks

NAME

       Net::CLI::Interact::Transport::Telnet - TELNET based CLI connection

VERSION

       version 1.121640

DECRIPTION

       This module provides a wrapped instance of a TELNET client for use by Net::CLI::Interact.

INTERFACE

   app
       On Windows platforms you must download the "plink.exe" program, and pass its location to the library in this parameter. On other platforms,
       this defaults to "telnet".

   runtime_options
       Based on the "connect_options" hash provided to Net::CLI::Interact on construction, selects and formats parameters to provide to "app" on
       the command line. Supported attributes:

       host (required)
	   Host name or IP address of the host to which the TELNET application is to connect.

       reap
	   Only used on Unix platforms, this installs a signal handler which attempts to reap the "ssh" child process. Pass a true value to enable
	   this feature only if you notice zombie processes are being left behind after use.

COMPOSITION

       See the following for further interface details:
