I'm having a tough time getting my ARexx scripts to ignore ^C's. The SIGNAL HALT method does no good because I just want to ignore these halt requests. Also SIGNAL HALT disables all do;end type control structures, which is *BAD*. It would be cool if anyone had a method to do what I'm asking. It would be cooler if it could still pass the ^C to a dos program launched through an "ADDRESS COMMAND". Certain shells sometimes seem to let me stop the commands (like SEARCH) while running, but they usualy stop the AREXX program as well. Also, anybody know if William is going to reduce the memory requirements of AREXX scripts? I have a 5k script which uses over 120k when it starts up. I've gone to great lengths to figure ways of reducing this, and have figured a method that does what I want, but I still think that a small script should not use up so much RAM. I doubt you can mail me at this node. Nobody has been able to before at any rate. Thanks
