Yes, I get the same errors and with the same OS and library. As you
probably noticed, these functions seem to require a second argument:

rx "say pragma(p,-1)"
rx "say pragma(s,8192)"

Reading the Amiga ARexx manual, it seems to imply that this is just
the way it works, ie. "Directory" is the only option that explicitly
states it does not need a second argument. Whether this is the way
it has always worked or the way it's supposed to work, though, I don't
know.

Hope that helps,

Todd
