	Marc, "Amiga IPC" does not equal "AREXX"!  The Exec has a whole
message-passing IPC mechanism, and *that* is what is being discussed here.
And yes, it works fine over a network.

	BTW, do you think you could learn to edit your messages a little??
You include the entire text of the previous message and insert a sentence
or two in the middle.  (No need to include 5 paragraphs at the end of the
message, for example!)
