If you add REXX code to a plain batch file then that batch is not a REXX file
that can be run, you have to turn the whole batch file into a REXX file: on
the first line in the first column the batch file must start with a comment,
to begin with.

Why don't you post here what you made out of it, so we could take a look at
it?
