Has anyone yet considered the simple, quick and dirty way to get this
function with the existing opsys? I can think of two ways:
1. Use WShell. It checks to see if an invoked name is an ARexx script.
2. Rename Execute as something else (I call it Ex), set the script bit on
all your ARexx execs, and rename rx to Execute. Then, when the 1.3 Shell
fails to find an executable program with the right name, it will look for
a file with the script bit set and invoke Execute on it. Voila! Instant
ARexx from the command line.
