- : AN_AREXXCOMMAND

- Then I'll have to make a very small complaint - the manual uses `..'
- throughout the tutorial. I tried trunning the script with rx and it
- couldn't find it, even when I gave it the full pathname - does it have to
- be executable? I'll try the things you suggested when I get home.

- Thanks for OctaMED Teijo, you can be proud of it.
