I wondered if that would come next.....;-) Unfortunately I am on holiday
and away from the code at the moment, however I will post some simple
example code when I get back. The critical part in this is writing the PIPE
Server code in REXX, it helps to be familiar with REXX and how to interface
PIPES to REXX. The client code can be fairly trivial, however it helps to
do this right as well.

Regards...........pk.
