 JdBP>   Works on my machine.  You need to use PMREXX to run it from a PM program
 JdBP>   of course, otherwise you get an "incorrect call to
function" error.

If you would like to avoid using PMREXX, you may also start CMD.EXE as a PM
session. There is no "console" available though, so you can't
"say" to stdout or "pull" from stdin with your REXX
program, but instead communicate with RxMessageBox alone. Use the following
command to kick off your REXX script: 

                START /PM CMD.EXE /C RXMSGBOX.CMD

Works great!
