You send Movei to Luis who installs it on his computer. 2. Luis sets up Movei so that it logs in to ICC under the account (eg) MoveiXX 3. You now log in to ICC under another account (eg UriBlass). 4. If you defined the ZIPPYPASSWORD and ZIPPYPASSWORD2 passwords, you (logged in as UriBlass) can now do this: tell MoveiXX WHATEVERTHEPASSWORDIS match postmodernist 45 10 u This doesn't prevent Luis controlling the MoveiXX account too. I'm afraid I can't remember which ZIPPYPASSWORD does what. One of them causes Winboard to send the string following the password to ICC (as if the program sent it). The other causes Winboard to send the string following the password to the chess program. I hope this helps. Andrew
