If you start a command queue from the Remotes or Quick Connect windows,

the pcAnywhere caller credentials that are needed to log on to the host computer.
If you are connecting to multiple host computers, pcAnywhere lets you send these
credentials to the other host computers. If these credentials are not correct, you
will be prompted to type them again.
