Communication between remote scripts

[ChrisH]

Thanks for the info. I've actually been looking at Pyro as a possible 
solution. In some ways however, it seems a lot more powerful than what I 
need for this project. 

Could you give a simple example of how a two programs can "talk" to one 
another? I don't think I really need RPCs in this case.
