- Pat, I guess you have just issued yet another arguement for shipping the
- hardcopy doc without cost. I just looked in the OS/2 Command Ref online
- and RXQUEUE is not found by search (all sections, all libraries), nor
- is it in the global list of commands. RXQUEUE function is listed in
- the REXX doc, but it is something else. I would assume that IBM takes the
- posture that users who demonstrate a need for doc beyond what is provided
- in the online version will be sent the paper doc without charge. Please
- enroll me in the list of those requiring OS/2 Ref Man and REXX UG and
- Ref Man. Many thanks.
