RenRem is a bit of a security hole, tbh (unless your firewall blocks RenRem traffic Wink

The best approach for an external application is to use the Windows APIs AttachConsole & WriteConsoleInput to push console commands directly into the FDS buffer (the latter takes a few gymnastics to call and and the former is only available on Windows XP or later, but when you combine the two, you get a one-way pty that is vastly better than DDE or RenRem); you can use jonwil's RenLogMon feature to see the console output coming back to you.

BTW: You can't pipe FDS I/O on Windows due to the fact the FDS uses the W32 low-level console API.
