Abstract
A client system having a unique object interfacing command shell is disclosed, where the object interfacing command shell allows users to dynamically specify remote objects as commands on a command line. Further, the parameters on the command line are the methods or functions of the remote object. Having the ability to both dynamically create commands and to have a syntactically consistent way of accessing remote objects' methods and functions, without having to know details of the objects' calling interfaces, allows considerable freedom to use remote objects in a fast changing, dynamic context in complex network configurations, and allows less technically sophisticated users to use the objects in scripts and at the command line.
