Perhaps someone else has encountered this problem and can tell me what is
wrong: I try to execute the following arexx program:
rx "address command 'waitforport sh'"
The result I get is: +++ Command returned 327680
I expected the waitforport command to wait for 10 seconds and then terminate
(since there is no port named sh). Waitforport is a command that comes with
Arexx but I have never gotten it to work right within a rexx program.
It seems to work ok if i just enter 'waitforport sh' from a CLI (actually
Wshell). I have encountered several rexx programs that use 'waitforport'
but have never been able to use them because of this problem. Any ideas or
suggestions are apprecited.dick@woodwrk.UUCP (Richard H. Wood, Garland, Texas) (06/01/90)

I tracked down what was causing this problem for me: I had sometime back replaced the 1.3 'Run' command with a 'runbackground' type command. Revertin back to 1.3 'Run' is the fix I used.
