I did actually talk to ASDG tech support about this some time ago. They
suggested I change the priority of the commodities that start RexxMast and
PopTR. I believe it is all covered by using CX_PRIORITY in conjuction with
the PopTR command (check out pages 148-150 in the manual, it tells you how
to change the priority of commodities). It's some time since I fiddled
with it, so I'm hazy, but the default priority of commodities is 0. What I
think you need to do is make sure RexxMast runs before PopTR does (because
PopTR looks for ARexx and gets plaintive when it can't find it.)
While it all sounded fine in theory, I was never successful in getting
this to work. I tried different priorities, but to no avail and finally I
tired of it all. I'm ashamed to say that what I do now is: open WBStartup;
double-click on PopTR, then run TRexx. Not elegant, but it works.
Perhaps this will point you in the right direction. I'm hopefully getting
my Toaster4000 next week and I plan on spending some time on this sort of
housekeeping, so I'll probably grapple with it all then. Let me know how
you get on.
