Hello All!

I posted a message a couple days ago about problems with my Rexx Exit
Handler, specifically RXSIO (intercepting say, trace, and error output).

I kept getting a sys3175, usually in REXX.DLL, sometimes DOSCALL1.DLL and
Borland's C215MT.DLL.

Well, I found the problem!  All I had to do was declare my exit handler as
LONG APIENTRY (__syscall) and the problems cleared up!  It only took me 3
days to find this!!!!  arrrrggghhhhh! :-)  I had only declared it as LONG
before.  Adding the APIENTRY fixed everything (so far)!

btw, I saw someone that posted about trying to create External Rexx
Functions with Borland C++ for OS/2.  Here's something I've noticed, you
cannot use the macro from rexxsaa.h for prototyping,

RexxFunctionHandler myfunc;

You must prototype/declare your external routines like this.

For example,

  won't work:

  RexxFunctionHandler myfunc;

  will work

  ULONG APIENTRY myfunc (PUCHAR, ULONG, PRXSTRING, PSZ, PRXSTRING);

For some reason RexxFunctionHandler doesn't work, at least in my experince.
Also, I declare my external Rexx functions as ULONG APIENTRY.
