Poop!  I've been resisting AREXX, but it looks like I'll need to break
down.  Was there any mention of licensing some minimal subset of it from
Mr Hawes, for the use of poor programmers who don't have (and can't
really afford) AREXX?  It seems vaguely sleazy to advertise an
integrated environment (and you know they will), that won't necessarily
be available to all purchasers.

Yeah, I know.  "Plunk down the damn $50 for AREXX and quitcher whining!"
Sigh.
