I just got v6 and it's very good, the potential for customising it with Arexx
is huge.  But I can't get octamed to run my scripts, even after following the
instructions in the manual to the letter.  I haven't yet tried running it
with rx (I'm at work at the moment) but thought someone might know off hand
what's wrong.  I suspect the apostrophes; they're printed in the manual as
being different on the left and the right e.g.

`AN_AREXXCOMMAND'

for each command in the script (except control structures etc).  But I have
to press [Ctrl+'] to get [`] - should the first apostrophe perhaps be a ['] ?
Not having used Arexx at all before you can understand my confusion at this.
I'm pretty certain I've set up OctaMED properly to run the scripts.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Max
