The built-in functions index(string, pattern [,start] )

and                      pos(pattern, string [,start] )

in my ARexx (Amiga Rexx, by William S. Hawes) manual seem

to work completely the same. Index() is not mentioned among the

extentions to the language standard. In his book "The Rexx Language",

(second ed., 1990) Cowlishaw does not mention index() at all...



Could somebody give the rest of the story??
