Not sure if this is 3.1 specific, but I've noticed a difference in using RX from the CLI/Shell as opposed to slipping it in as the default tool in a Workbench icon. RX from the CLI invokes RexxMast if it's not already active; but it seems that RX (or C:Rexxc/RX) as a default tool does not. The effect is that the Workbench start doesn't work unless RexxMast has been called prior to opening the icon (say, in user-startup), but the CLI call does work. Is there any alternative that will make the Workbench setup behave better for naive users? A beginner might be scared off by a download program that reports 'rexxmast: unknown command'. –Jim
