- Agreed, it's not a program you can run on a stock 1200...

- RJD>: GetTCP and SendTCP are CLI commands and thus can be used in scripts.

-
- That's because ARexx is a scripting language, meaning that it isn't
- compiled before you can run it. Adding comments to Arexx scripts will only
- slow it down when it is executed.

-
- I learned ARexx on my own. I only have the AmigaDOS ARexx manual and a
- bunch of scripts (commented and uncommented). I started changing the
- scripts and learn from the failures those changes produced, as a matter of
- fact I learned a lot more of my own mistakes than of peeking at the codes
- of others.
- I did have a programming background when I started to learn ARexx, at
- school we had to learn a little TurboPascal. But this would only cover some
- basic things to make my own programs to do calcultions, etc.
