	There is an excellent Rexx tutorial guide called "System
Product Interpreter User's Guide" from the "Virtual Machine/System
Product" collection, edited for the IBM mainframes.  This manual was
written for the original Rexx environment so it defines the standard
and ARexx conforms quite well to it.

	I have the second edition (Feb 1984) and the number is
"SC24-5238-1".  There is an address written in there where you can
have information (back in 84, I don't know for 1990!).  Anyway, the
address is:	IBM Programming Publications
		Department G60,
		P.O. Box 6,
		Endicott, N.Y.
		U.S.A.
		13760

	This address might not be valid.

	The other source of tutorial information I know is looking at
other's people script.  It is not very elegant but it is efficient.

	I hope this help!
