The way I was going to deal with it was simple.  We will end up back
where we started, with the basic prompt being 'net user share
join....'.  

This would do these basic actions no matter what the server.  Then,
under ads/rap/rpc we would have similar options, but also many more that
are specific to that technology.

We would simply list 'net rap/rpc/ads' in the same way we list any other
subcommand.

Does this make sense?
