This is a previous post that has been modified.
I have been trying to integrate RCS commands with ARexx and CED.
Unfortunately, I seem unable to launch an Arexx script from CED that
executes the RCS command ci without crashing my system.  The following
is a bit of the Arexx script.

conwindow = "newcon:0/0/640/100/CI"
cmd = 'cd '||path||cr||'rcs:ci -l '||sourcefile||cr||'endcli'||cr
open(cmdfile,"tmp:ci.sh",write)
writech(cmdfile,cmd)  /* create checkin script */
close(cmdfile)
address command 'devkit:c/WBTF' /* move workbench screen to front */
options failat 999
address command 
'newshell' conwindow "tmp:ci.sh" /* this is where is crashes */
/* end example */

I get the ci prompt in the new window but after I finish the log 
message, the software error alert greets me.
If I execute the 'newshell conwindow tmp:ci.sh' from a CLI it works just
fine.  This is driving me crazy.  Does this have anything to do with
the task vs process environment?  I am using Arexx 1.10 and the latest
CED release.
