This happened for me, too.

Yes, I came to the same conclusion.  I surmise that WShell will execute
Rexx scripts implicitly (and strip off the .rexx suffix), that Rexx scripts
executed from WShell don't need the `ADDRESS COMMAND' line, and that WShell
allows redirection clauses to occur anywhere on the command line (maybe
the 2.0 AmigaShell allows that too ;-)).

I had no such problem.  Might be a SAS/C setup/installation problem (?).

BTW: Did you see my post on a *major* Comeau C++/Lattice C++/cfront problem?
Just try doing a two module program, which includes iostream.h in both
modules!
