	Thanks, Dave, for making this point. "Rolling
	your own" with ARexx is *really* a nice idea,
	and I think it will be quite a while before all
	thr permutations of it are explored. Rexx comes
	from the IBM mainframe environment originally,
	but it is a bigger concept than that. I'm impressed
	with the Amiga community for being able to absorb
	& utilize such things - the synergy of the hardware
	and software is pretty amazing...
