Q.
My IS guy indicated that there is an easy way to put shortcut icons on my desktop to allow quick entry into GroupWise with one click. Some of the modes I would include are remote and caching. Any help would be appreciated.

Dear GW: You need to realize that many users do not know about these command-line switches. To switch between modes many users set this option when the GroupWise client is running. To quickly go into the desired GroupWise mode, create three different desktop shortcuts to GroupWise (GRPWISE.EXE). In the properties of these shortcuts, append the Target with these command line options:
For online mode, append:
/ipa-<ip address> /ipp-<ip port>
where <ip address> is the ip address of the post office agents for the user and <ip port> is the port that the post office agent is listening for the users request (the default port is 1677).
For caching mode, append:
/pc-<path to cache>
where <path to cache> is the local directory to the users' cache (that is, the C:\MyGWcach directory).
For remote mode, append:
/ps-<path to remote>
where <path to remote> is the local path to where the remote databases download.
