Thanks for the note on AREXX, Art. You made the comment that the IPC aspects of AREXX have not been fully exploited. I wonder is this because of lack of capability in the product itself or because of lack of user interest in tying together different applications? You mentioned that PageRender3D will have an AREXX only version soon. What does PageRender3D do? You define a good AREXX interface as one where "you can do *everything* with AREXX you can do with a mouse and keyboard." You know this almost makes AREXX sound like a multi-media scripting language more than a way to issue commands that order an application to input, process, or output data (in other words: something that controls the application intrinsics as opposed to its user interface). Do you see AREXX as a solution to both user interface scripting *and* control of application intrinsics? Thanks for the list of programs with good AREXX ports. Are there any good communication programs with AREXX ports? Do you know the names of any user groups in the San Francisco Bay Area that have any AREXX SIGS? Thanks, Will
