I don't remember the details.  I do recall seeing someone else's
AdeptXBBS setup that did use 4OS2 and that would not work for me.
I think I also tried some CMD file that was written especially for
4OS2 and that did not work either.  It may be that 4OS2 does all
the normal REXX stuff fine.  But Adept has it's own version of
AdeptREXX.  And I think if I started relying on 4OS2 it would be
hard for me to write REXX to give to others for use on machines
without 4OS2.  There was also something about having to unload 4OS2
before doing certain things (perhaps FixPacks ???).  As it is I am
and probably always will be a novice at REXX, even tho some of my
CMD files ar almost 30K not including comments.  It is hard enough
for me to try to figure out why some of my CMD files don't do
exactly what I want, without having to unload 4OS2 or memorize the
little differences with or without 4OS2.  Maybe when I have more
time I will experiment with 4OS2.  But I would rather IBM solve
this 1 little problem.
     Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts
