Hi.  I can't seem to figure out a way to, through an AREXX (script? program?
Macro?) to allow a dos command to get any input from me.  er.... I mean:

I wish to execute 1.3's more (pathname sys:utilities/More) from an arexx application through the aux: port.  The trouble is that if I do:

Address Command "sys:utilities/more" morefile

The more decides it can't get access to (raw keyboard events?. Explain it to me 
if you can) so it opens up in it's own console window (no amazing use over
aux:).  The same happens with any command that requires input.  I am using
Arexx 1.06 on a 2 meg a1000.  

If anyone could mail some ideas on how I could fix my problem, or code examples,
I'd love it and bless your first born.
