VB6 Client with facility to socket shutdown

HI, I need a simple sample program - in VB6 that will connect to a server via tcp - that parts easy - I can connect and then [login to view URL](MyString) The problem is that I need to send a socket shutdown - after I have sent the message (not [login to view URL]) Here is the instruction as given to me. "Once you are done sending the message string you need to shut down the SEND side of the socket; lngRetValue = shutdown(m_lngSocketHandle, SD_SEND) This is what tells the comm server that you are ready for a response." I can't seem to do this with the MSock control - what about the api ??' So I need a small VB App Client that will send / receive messages - but the ability to socket - shutdown as well. I did see somewhere that this is the same as sending a blank string with the FIN bit set !!! (if thats any help) Thanks for looking
