Actually, this is a side effect. Rexx programs are run in the same process
as the command shell, hence OS/2 still thinks we're using the DLL. It might
be possible to have another REXX function in a seperate DLL that uses
DosQueryModuleHandle() & DosFreeModule() to free the DLL. This
"side effect" also allows you to do interesting things like
multithread a command prompt .

Netmail on it's way. I haven't yet implemented keystroke/queue support yet
as I'm just getting into in memory rexx files . I might do it
tonight before I send it to you depending on time. I also haven't added a
function to sync the screen yet either.
