I have worked a bit with Superbase Pro (Version 3.01) and Arexx. What
I was doing was having Superbase Pro launch an Arexx script to run
DigiView to grab an image and then save the image, where another
script controled DigiPaint 3 to cut the image up and make a mosaic
after six digitizations. The mosaic pic was then given a name that
corresponded to the contents of a field in my database. (The whole
thing was an excersise with my son's yearbook.) What I was unable
to do was have Arexx accually CONTROL Superbase, that is, perform
actions such as those in the menues. 
 
I also found out a little too late about the $$$ support agreement,
but Precision (makers of Superbase) told me that they have a 
support area on Plink (telecom service) that is at no charge (other
than the service itself). If anyone has found some ways to control
Superbase from an Arexx script, please post some details....) One 
way to do it would be with Scripit, but I was hoping for the "RIGHT
WAY" through Arexx....
