Did you add the initial "/* blah de blah */" comment starting on the first
column of the first line?  Minus the ""s of course.  Without that comment, the 
file will be sent to the command interpreter which is going to have trouble
attempting to make sense of a REXX file.

Of course, I know this simply from reading the manual.
