Given that QDLS **IS** in your IFS you are already half-way there.  
NET USE is the command line interface to SMB. It will work for any  
share defined on the host.

Doesn't matter.

Set up a share (using Navigator or one of the various command-line  
tools) to the directory you want and

either:
	access it via SMB client (Windows Network Neighbourhood, NET USE, etc.)

or
	from and Windows menu bar take Tools->Map Network Drive and follow  
the prompts
