I came up with a simple C function that grabs the temporary filename that Informix assigns when you choose "LOCATE <my_rec.text_field> IN FILE". With that, and the rcp command available in the WTK-Rlogin Terminal emulation and the WinExecWait() function available when you include the fgl_init4js() call, we can now get Unix files over to the local PC and bring up a simple PC word processor.
