- I saw the same problem with a freeware REXX script I write that is an
- IRC script for an OS/2 IRC client. The script calls out to OS/2 to
- run command line type stuff, puts the output in the RXQUEUE and then
- reads back the queue to the IRC client. The commands run just fine,
- but nothing comes back out of the queue to be displayed.
-
- Backing out also fixed this problem for my scripts.
