- Well, I am not a specialist but whatthe hell is the "RESULT" var done for ?
- Would not be the better way be
-
- "ls -l ~"
- dir = result
-
- (This is the only available way to do it with arexx btw)
-
- It's common rexx anf follows Cowlishaw's rules. (as far as I understood it...)
- So why are you trying to implement hassles with
-
- dir = "ls -l ~"
-
- and all its derivative ?
-
- Cannot the result way be good enough for us ?
-
- Just a reflexion from a rexx user. Nothing else.
