You should read the help to 4os2 and its start command beside the REXX 
address command.

Anyway you can check the command you tries on commandline and see what 
it does.

REXX interprets each string as command. So
'4os2 command command parameters'
will excecute 4os2 in the same sessin as the REXX program where 4os2 
will execute the command given. Currently you starts a 4os2 session 
that has to do nothing.

But why does you start a 4os2 session? What should 4os2 do that 
cmd.exe or plain text can not do for you?
Give you a directory list? for that use SysFileTree
Use the right parameters for to get excactly the information you needs.

Your original code shows no requirement as to startup an 4os2 that has 
to do nothing except to be alive.
