I'm not at my home machine now, but the Toolkit does have quite a
reference on using REXX to interface programs.  I'm working on a
fairly detailed description of the Toolkit that I will post to
.os2.programmer presently.  It's a woefully poorly described package with
an incredible amount of useful data.  (I just converted the .h files
to work with the gcc21 compiler, the complete 32 bit API is now
available to me!)
