But Deven, dont you see, that is the plan! By chatting up ARexx in the comp.lang.rexx newsgroup all those REXX junkies that want a fix at home but only have a Mac or a PC will be dying to go out and buy an Amiga to do all of this neat stuff. Then they'll say "Well I was going to fire up the PC to run MicroEMACS but heck I'll just open another window on this here Amiga ..." the next thing you know they're advertising their PC in misc.wanted and subscribing to comp.sys.amiga. Such a deal no? --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
