Yes. In fact that's what it says here in Goran's book, page 1.
'Beginning with Warp Version 4, the online Rexx reference (REXX.INF)
pertains to the active REXX interpreter with the alternate .INF file

Yes it might.
It's just that mine didn't - it might be different on later
Warp 3 fixpacks or all of Warp 4. Updating the XREXX.INF to reflect
all the functions in the REXXUTIL.DLL would be a perfect thing to include
in a Fix Pack - that's why they have them.

Something like 'switchrx' or such.
I think it's a .cmd file in :\os2\.

True. Let us know what happens if you try. :-)
Have you tried using RexxTry, and just
to see if SysBootDrive() works for you?

Anthrocentric, is that the word?
Plotting implies volitional action, a human characteristic.
