Ric, Thanks for the info re. WShell being an ARexx host. That would indeed be handy! The more I play around with this (and I _don't_ know why I started!), the more interesting effects I turn up. One more thing that is interesting is that AmigaShell WILL execute invoke ARexx for files without the .rexx extension if the file has the 's' bit set in the file header! 4.Ram Disk:ttt> list greet 41 —-rwed Today 13:30:33 1 file – 2 blocks used 4.Ram Disk:ttt> greet greet: file is not executable 4.Ram Disk:ttt> protect greet +s 4.Ram Disk:ttt> greet hello, ARexx found me! 4.Ram Disk:ttt> cd / 4.Ram Disk:> rexx:greet hello, ARexx found me! 4.Ram Disk:> (Again, I had ASSIGN ADDed ram:ttt/ to REXX:.) I don't think this behavior is documented anywhere. AmigaShell will invoke ARexx if EITHER the file has the .rexx extension OR the 's' script bit is set for the file! // \X/ Amiga -Steve ——> On AutoPilot from Silicon Valley
