AREXX is an implementation of the REXX language for the Amiga. Essentially,
it is a scripting language that allows you to control those applications
that have "an AREXX port". This offerse several benefits to you.
1) A consistent base set of instructions common across all the
applications.
2) An easy way to cause several programs to interact with each other,
share data, etc.
AREXX is now part of OS 2.0, and the 2.0 documentation set contains a section
on AREXX. If, on the other hand, you do not want to wait for 2.0 to get
started with AREXX, I believe that the original implementor of AREXX,
Bill Hawes, still sells his original version of it.
