Not a problem. I'd suggest you grab Rolf's archive of snippets from
the groups.yahoo.com site and put all the pieces aside for reference.
There's quite a deal in there from a /master/ of ARexx.

FA> please? What do the "||" mean?

The double pipe operator means absolute (as opposed to implied)
concatenation. IE. "say 'A''B'" gets you the output "AB" but
might also get you "A B", whereas "say 'A'||'B'" will always
return "AB". It's just a way of making sure of the result.

The 'L=' section designates the local directory in which the outbound
file is stored. For your own needs, using 'L=RAM:' would be
sufficient, assuming the file to be uploaded always existed in the RAM
Disk.

Cache Ya,
Craig.
