Mike, There are a couple of ways to adjust the stack for DOS commands launched by the ARexx address command instruction. You can pass a stack command explicitly as part of the DOS command, using a '0A'x (newline) separator character. In this case the background shell created by address command will run the stack command first, setting a new stack value, and then run the desired command. The default stack for commands can also be set using the ARexx pragma() function. The function can be called as oldstack = pragma('Stack',newstack) where newstack is the desired value. The new value for the default stack remains in effect until changed again by the pragma() function. -Bill Hawes
