CLIENT SERVER NIGHTMARES

Can anyone suggest a method for achieving the following. I am a developer in the UK, using a client server development environment called Seachange (if you live outside the UK you won't have heard of it, if you live in the UK you probably still won't have heard of it!)

I am working on a client server development at the moment. The server is a SCO unix box, the clients Win98. All the processing is done on the server. What I need is the ability to have a user click on a button which will kick of the following processing:
set an environment variable on the client machine.
run a dos batch file on the client machine.

I know the final sollution will be language specific, but I am after some high level advice here.

At the moment I don't know if this is possible - though I expect it is. Does the answer lie in COM??

Any thoughts suggestions gratefully received.
