Can someone 'please' volunteer to write up the following 'very simple' 'very understandable' assembly (read -> 68000) program? I think that it is desparately needed for us assembly programmers: This is involving ARexx, and the very simple 'hello world' window. The ARexx portion would be: * print 'hello world' in the window */ address 'rexx_window' print 'hello world' The window would be the basic simple hello world window with a WINDOWCLOSE gadget, an ARexx port called 'rexx_window', and an ARexx command called 'print'. Therefore, any string may be printed in the window. I hope that there is somebody out there who can do this for us. I just 'can't' get a hang of this……..and an example of this type would go a -> long way…believe me! Thanks a million!!!!!!!!!!!

Luciano, The ARexx distribution disk has an assembly-language example called `hosttest' that opens a port and waits for commands to be issued to it, and prints out the commands it receives. To try it out, open a separate CLI and run the hosttest program, and then run an ARexx program from your first CLI to issue a command. It's pretty simple but at least illustrates receiving and replying to ARexx commands. I'm glad someone at last asked for an assembly-code example — usually the reqeusts are for examples in anything but assembly 🙂 Bill
