Is  there  an easy fix for ARexx's current-directory problem (not giving it
to  the  ARexx  process  when  RX  is run)?  I know you could just pass the
current  directory  to  the  script  as an argument, but that looks bad and
seems  messy  and  is slow.  Does WShell fix this?  Would it be possible to
write  a  replacement  for  the  RX  command  which  would pass the current
directory?  (I'll try making one if nothing easier and better comes up.)

Please E-MAIL only.  (Unless mail doesn't go through, of course.) I'll post
a summary.  Also, if this has been discussed before, forgive me, I just got
back on Usenet less than a month ago.

Thanks in advance.

				Bryan
