   ARexx command utilities
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The distribution copies of ARexx include several utility programs. These
are similar to other command utilities located in the C: directory. They
are called in the same way, by entering the command name on the shell or
using the 'Workbench/Execute command' menu item.

On a standard Workbench disk, the ARexx utility programs are located in a
directory named 'rexxc'. There's nothing special about that directory
name. The program files can be moved to whichever directory the user might
choose, but whereever they are located, the directory should be included
in the command path so that the command will be executed immediately.

The command path is controlled with the AmigaDOS command 'PATH'. Consult
your AmigaDOS manual for more information if you are not familiar with its
use.

The main difference between these commands and other command programs
located in C: is that the ARexx command utilities will not supply help
information when <command> ? is entered on the shell.
