Well, I myself have never gotten a single RexxArpLib function working. I DO
load the libs with the supplied LoadRexxLib.rexx-program but whenever I try
to access any function in RexxArpLib, I get error message "12: error return
from function".

I have had similar problems with RexxMathLib, but sometimes I have managed
to use its functions. Even more strange was that after I remlibbed the 
rexxmathlib.library, I tried to use some of its functions (and of course
expected "Function not found"-message) I received the same error message
"12: error return from function"?????

To sum it up, I have never managed to use rexxarplib (and rexxmathlib works
only occasionally). Now I'm wondering, what am I doing wrong? I'm using ARexx
version 1.06 and WShell version 1.05, so at least the supplied fastmenu.rexx
should work properly after addlibbing these libraries, but I always get the
same error message? Might this be a bug in ARexx or rexxarplib? Is there a 
specific order that I should use to addlib these libraries (usually I addlib
rexxsupport.library on startup)?
