Amy Expo has requested that someone give an intensive class on using AREXX, both from the user standpoint, and at least a little bit on creating an interface. Tom Rokiki has done part 2 as "minrexx". I have tentatively accepted the create/teach the class assignment and will do so on July 30th at Amy Expo Chicago, most likely in the morning. I would welcome, and gratefully acknowledge, any AREXX scripts that the Amiga Usenet community would care to submit for inclusion in the course material. I can disect them, summarize, and post here or to comp.sources.amiga either before or after the course. I'd also welcome questions -- I am sure that Bill Hawes would be willing to help me answer them. Email or SNAIL, as you wish.
