Im writing an application and would like to be able to “beam” information to another computer (using either the Exchange Manager or raw IR). Do I need to use SYSTRAPs or add primitives to the VM?

The key here is that exchange manager will actually send in a launch code notifying you that something has come in. The current VM does not currently support this launch code. This launch code has serious limitations like sub-launch (no globals and such). You would need to add the stuff to the VM and recompile. The new source [1.6a4] is coming out soon.
