[vlc] RC question

[Edit B]

Hi there,
Trying to control VLC from my work by shelling to it.
Firering it up with a command line is no problem, but I need to interact 
with it.
Now -I rc comes close, but sadly now a new DOS box opens (i'm on Windows), 
and i can't interact with that from my work.
So, i added --rc-quiet  and re-routed stdErr to stdOut. This is an 
improvement, but I only get a few messages, (like an error if the input file 
does not exist, but not things like volume changes if I do so in the player 
window), and I'm not able to get VLC to accept the commands I send (Like 
"seek 1")

What am I missing here?


I rather not use Telnet, as the implementation of that in my (ancient) 
programming environment is less than stellar...

(Excuse me if i've got the lingo wrong, i'm not really experienced in this.)

Tia,

Bouke
