I do already have the address ... bit, but without the quotes - again, they're not used in the manual. : I don't remember right now how ARexx handles "reverse"-apostrophes, but the : above form doesn't seem correct anyway. You should use one of these formats: : 'AN_AREXXCOMMAND' : "AN_AREXXCOMMAND" : AN_AREXXCOMMAND : Either the apostrophes or quotation marks are both accepted by ARexx. : The quoting conventions are quite tricky indeed. Then I'll have to make a very small complaint - the manual uses `..' throughout the tutorial. I tried trunning the script with rx and it couldn't find it, even when I gave it the full pathname - does it have to be executable? I'll try the things you suggested when I get home. Thanks for OctaMED Teijo, you can be proud of it.
