RX <program> [<arguments>]

Launches an ARexx <program> from the AmigaDOS shell, or can be used as the
default tool for an icon that will launch the program.

If <program> includes an explicit path specification, then that path alone
will be searched for the program. If a path specification is not included,
then ARexx first search the current directory for the named <program> and
then the REXX: directory.

A '.rexx' extension to the <program> name may be excluded. If the name
does not include an extension, then ARexx will first attempt to find an
exact match in its search path. It no match is found, it will search for a
file named <program>.rexx.

Whether it is entered on the command line or used as the tool of an icon,
the RX utility will start  RexxMast , the interpreter, if it is not
already available.
