Ok, I am probably doing something stupid, but I can no longer get arexx programs to execute under 2.02. I create an arexx file, named test.rexx and put it in the default directory. I have also tried putting it in the rexx: directory. When I type rx test or rx text.rexx I get a "Command returned 5/1: Program not found" error. Am I doing something wrong, or is it broken under 2.02? John

I create an arexx file, named test.rexx and put it Have you got the initial comment string as the first line in the script? E.g. /* comment for rexx */ say 'Hello!' That may be your problem - bit me a few times 8v) Cheers, Steve
