G'day Moris,

I'm not into the programming  side of OS/2 but an home user fan all the same.

That said, I have no reference to startup.cmd in "Mastering OS/2 Warp"  and am
guessing it is some kind of Rexx version of a DOS autoexec.bat command.

Do you know where I can learn about it?
Do you have working examples of such a command program file?
I think it's time I started learning Rexx and this seem like a good way to
start.

TIA ,

Inaki
