Antwort auf eine Message von Linda Proulx an All:

 LP> What is a cmd file & what is the difference between it & an exe file?

a CMD file could be a batch-file for the os/2 commandline-interpeter
(cmd.exe), like the BAT files of dos.

or a REXX script (indicated with a /* */ comment in the first line of the
script). REXX is a powerful language, you can use it to expand some
batch-jobs. REXX can use 3rd. party libs and is able to control applications.
i use rexx-scrips on an os/2 client to control host-applications in a ibm
pers. comm. 3270 emulation, or impos/2 can be controlled with. or... rexx is
also (native) avail. in pc-dos 7 oder ibm mvs operations system. there is a
free rexx interpreter named regina available for dos, os/2, win32. and an from 
ibm also a version of o-rexx (object-rexx) for windows nt.
for more information 'bout rexx take a look in \os2\book\rexx.inf


Servus, Holger!
