To start SbPro4 from ARexx, don't you want to do something like:
. . . . . .
/* Make sure libs are open */
if ~show('l','rexxsupport.library') then
if ~addlib('rexxsupport.library',0,-30,0) then exit 20
if ~show('l','rexxarplib.library') then
if ~addlib('rexxarplib.library',0,-30,0) then exit 20
address command 'run SBase4:SBase4pro <nil: >nil:'
do 50 while ~show('P', 'SBase4') /* wait for it to start */
call delay 10
end
if ~show('P', 'SBase4') then /* didn't start – bail out */
exit 20
. . . . .
Note: 'SBase4' is the port name for SBase Professional 4 V1.2 you may want
to use 'show('P')' to verify the port name for your version.

Have you tried using one of the 'system monitor' type programs to see
screen and/or window names? (Although I couldn't guarantee that there will be a
useable name.) For example:
AmigaTech LIB 11 !
