YES. YES. See what I said about deregistering not doing what the
documenation claims it does. It appears to mark the function as
deregistered, but is otherwise a no-op. Did you run my testcase?

The only way to be sure it has not been registered to reboot and ensure
that no REXX scripts run before you start testing.

You make SURE that you request that the functions get deregistered.
There's a subte difference between this and actually having the functions
deregistered and unavailable.

>NOW not registered

This is all wonderful, but the functions are still usable after you make
the call and the functions will appear to be registered the next time you
run any REXX script. Try my testcase.

Yep.

>Got it?

Yep. Had it.

I suspect that it's true for all boxes running OREXX. Hold on I just
happen to have CREXX on the MUT behind me. Better yet, it's on the
network, so no sneaker net required.

I'm back. CREXX runs as expect. Deregistering make the functions
unavailable.
