I just recently downloaded VLT and I am using it now instead of
JR-COMM. The only problem is that I don't fully understand the ARexx
side of things.
When I select an ARexx macro it says unable to find/create port.
This also happens when it has to sound the bell.
Can anybody out there give me a brief rundown on what ARexx is, what it
does and how to use it.
Thanks Shaun.
P.S. I have the ARexxArplib.library and the screenshare.library in libs
as well as the ARexx math library.

| 3326.2 | it's a Language | SALEM::LEIMBERGER | Sat Jan 13 1990 04:28 | 16 | |
ARexx is a language that has very powerfull scripting capabilities.
I purchased it awhile back but just started to play with it this
weekend. In context it allows inter process communication for programs
that have ARexx ports,like VLT. The programm disk also contains
several example programs that serve as examples. for instance one
program will open up a CLI,and then display a menu with several
buttons. You can then click on the selection you want,and it will
launch that task. While limited the example is an excellent one
because it shows how powerfull ARexx can be. I have to admit that
at this time I am just getting starte,so my experiances are limited.
I hope to see ARexx programs showing up more here on the net as
users develop them. some have already been posted,and i expect to
see more follow.BTW ARexx is a good language for those starting
out,and that have had experiance with basic.

| 3326.5 | How to start an AREXX program? | RIPPLE::LUKE_TE | Tue Sep 18 1990 12:44 | 6 | |
Does anyone know how to start up an AREXX program from CanDo? I've
figured out how to send messages out of CanDo to other AREXX programs
with AREXX ports with the SpeakTo command but reading the AREXX
docs, it's not clear to me just what message I send to the REXX
port to start another AREXX program I want to write to do some floating
point calculations?
