ALMOST WORKED! (extracts from pmdf.log):

        $ @MAIL_B6669980009288F800000001.tmpc
        $ NOTES /NONOTEBOOK PMDF

                                 VAX Notes Computer Conferencing
                                 Enter the command HELP for help
        Invalid wildcard operation
        WRITE /NOEDIT MAIL_B6669980009288F800000001.tmpm

        You must use the OPEN command to open a conference first
              .
              .

I had to split up the first command into

        $ write temp "$ NOTES"
        $ write temp "OPEN /NONOTEBOOK 'p1'
              .
              .

and then it went.

Seems that it only WRITES though, and I can see problems in trying to get
it to REPLY...

thanks
Peter
