I am having trouble communicating with Digi-View Gold through AREXX. I run Digi-View Gold and while it is running , I go to the shell and run an AREXX script I wrote that uses the command Show(ports) to view the addressable ports. The Digi-View port is not in the list. When I try to address the Digi-View port, I get the message "Host not found". I have tried other programs that have an AREXX port and they come up in the show port list. I called NewTek and they were quite rude and unhelpful. I addressed the AREXX port for Digi-View Gold as "Digi-View". Any help would be appreciated.

Neil, Strange.. I just tried it, and "Digi-View" shows up as a port name. My script uses rx "say showlist('P',,'0A'x)" (actually, it's an alias), and I also tried it from the command line as: "say show(ports) and it shows up there too. First thought is that you might be running an earlier, non-ARexx version. Other than that, I can't think of any reason why the port wil not show up. -larry
