Oracle9i Host and Text_IO Command Issues

Question

We are currently attempting to migrate from Forms6i to Oracle9i Forms. I understand that the current Host and Text_IO commands execute on the application server tier and NOT on the client. To counter the Host command issue the migration documentation suggests using the 'Client Host Command PJC' demo which can be incorporated into a form. However, the only Host command that seems to respond is the 'Notepad' command. I need to use other Host commands. Has anyone actually used the aforementioned 'Client Host PJC' in an Oracle9i form?
Also, I am aware of a utility being developed by Oracle called 'WebUtil' which is suppose to simplify this process. Any idea when this utility will be launched and made available to developers? Thanks in advance for your help.
