Thank you (and Ed Blackman, for the same suggestion in another message) for
your answer and your sample code. Somebody else already told me about
RXQUEUE, but I think your sample code will help me very much.

Well, sometimes I do a lot of REXX coding, some other times a lot of C/C++
programming, or Gofer, PERL, UNIX shellscripts etc. It depends in what mood
I am, and what is easiest to accomplish my goal, for the operating system I
want to use it on. Or sometimes I have to program in a certain language as
an excercise at the university.

Anyway, my boss doesn't have the OS2REXX echo. I will ask him whether it is
possible to join it.
