  Tried to send this to eddie@at, but it bounced. Since the REXX
on the Amiga is fairly popular, this might be of general interest...
Note that I have no financial association with Bill Hawes, I'm 
just a very satisfied customer. Also, TINAR 8-). 

  AREXX is an implementation of REXX for the Commodore Amiga. It is
written by Bill Hawes. It is quite inexpensive (<$50). 
You can order it directly from Bill or you can get it mail order. 
Bill's address is

                       P.O. Box 308
                       Maynard, MA  01754


and his phone is (617) 568-8695. 

  Bill also has a shell, called WShell, that is AREXX compatable.
Basically, it provides some special abilities to AREXX programs, and
it also considers AREXX to be its main scripting language..i.e. if
you type a command, the REXX: path is searched for the command before
the regular command search path.

  Commodore has licensed AREXX and will include it in v1.4 of the OS.
