I have not used it myself, but I think that is the difference between Remote

leaves the local screen and keyboard active.

Thanks Douglas - that looks as if it will work as long as the port is open. It has the advantage of being a Windows function so nothing to install - just enable. I guess I'd have to run it from within my Parallels Virtual machine - now all I have to do is find out how it works in Win 7. Although I have an XP VM as well if I absolutely have to.
