- We expected we would get this a lot, there are to our knowledge no
- problems with Wordworth`s ARexx support, but it is very easy to think
- there is when scripts don`t work. There are many pitfalls you can fall
- in, and we had problems ourselves writing ARexx scripts for Wordworth,
- but every time it turned out to be a mistake in the ARexx script, e.g.
- using a keyword for one of the ARexx commands as a variable name, or
- not putting quotes around certain parameters.
-
- Regarding your problems, I suggest you check you have quotes around
- the parameters for document width/height and TextFrame top/bottom
- margins, e.g. `Document "12in" "4in"` for a custom page size of 12
- inches by 4 inches.
-
- If you still have problems then tell me exactly what your ARexx script
- line is.
-
- Mark.
