  Assist will support AREXX from now on(V1.4). As i promised (V1.3) AREXX
is ready!
These commands are supported from the Assist command I (internal command).
Please, read the commands file.

Assist wont create an AREXX port if you will not set the INSTALL AREXX
to yes in the file Assist.init.
Assist will use as the AREXX port name the name ASSIST.N where N is a
number (1...X) which represents the copy of Assist running.

You can set a different port name for Assist by using the setenv command
from Shell. The variable is ASSIST_PORT  i.e setenv ASSIST_PORT AS_REXX
If this port will not be in use then Assist will use that port otherwise
Assist will give a name ASSIST.N

You can see the AREXX port of an Assist copy by pressing HELP or selecting
the 'How to use' option from the menu Help.
Assist support a few commands for two reasons.
1 ] I dont have the AREXX documentation and all i did is based on PD
C source files.
2 ] I dont have a BlitzII manual! Here in Greece trying to find a
manual for a serious program is like trying to find elephants flying
(with pink ears!). So, i dont know how to set a variable in AREXX fromwithin
BlitzII etc etc. ALL i did is based on C source examples!
When i get BlitzII V2.1 (hopefully WITH THE MANUAL) i will expand the
AREXX usage.
