I have a question for all you experts:  I am cleaning up a 10-year-old  
system with some 30-odd workstations.  This is in a refinery with groups  
consisting usually of 3 workstations assigned to a refinery unit or group  of 
related 
units.  We have consistently configured every block with its  alarm group 
(4-8), etc.  Suppose workstation 3 needs to report to one of  its annunciator 
keys/LED's the alarms from just one screen from workstation 17,  which is one 
of 
the assigned workstations of that alarm's CP alarm  group, and has its points 
configured to and reporting to a different set of  workstations than the one to 
which 3 "belongs".  In other words, the  respective CPs for workstation 17's 
group have had their STATION parameters  edited to report the desired screen's 
alarms up to just those stations, and  I don't want ALL of the CP's alarms 
reported to station 3, just one  screen's worth (a shared utility but with all 
points belonging to a CP dedicated  to workstation 17's group).  How do I get 
only that screen's alarms to  report also to workstation 3's annunciator panel 
which is configured in its  ...AApan to pull up the shared screen?  Is there a 
way to read another  annunciator's key/LED and have it fire a different 
annunicator's LED?   I know from the command line or with a script that we can 
make 
a given LED light  up (thanks to Andreas Weiss), but it seems a shame to have 
to constantly run a  script whose sole job is to check for this one LED on one 
panel and report it to  another, and even then, I'm not sure if it would 
blink until acknowledged or  not, etc.  Any ideas?
