- There is no general purpose interface between PM and rexx. There are
- a few functions in the REXXUTIL function package (display a message
- box, some system object interaction functions) that do interface to PM.
-
- There is also an application called PMREXX, which will run a .cmd file
- under the PM application. It doesn't provide any specific interfaces
- to PM for the rexx programmer though.
-
- If you have some specific application in mind, you can write some
- functions in C that rexx can use (aka External Functions), and
- these functions can do pretty much whatever you want. We've implemented
- some functions for rexx that resolve to WinSendMsg()'s on the C side,
- for instance.
