I'm not familiar with the AS series, but at Fedora Core 2, it became
"system-config-packages", so look for that or maybe
"system-install-packages".

Thanks. That is sort of what I was looking for. They will allow me to do
some things from my desk with out having to go to the computer center her at
the office. I have to run WRQ Reflections X to use them. What I was really
looking for was a dumb terminal interface to be able to do things on a
customer's system that I can only access via telnet through a firewall.
