When I dial into my host machine, using ProComm +'s host mode, and try
to shell out, I get an "Error 18" message.  Now, if in regular
procomm, you can get that message w hen you hit alt-f4 if the program
can't access your command.com, I think.  I made sure to put my
command.com in my path, and actually while at my host machine I logged
in by hitting f4 after entering host mode [which lets you do a local
login from the host machine] and I was able to shell out with no
problem.  But now, back home, I still am unable to shell out.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks.
