Peter often thinks outside the box. This has its benefits but can and
will also produce some interesting side effects.

As the thread storm indicates, this only works for some.

IBM quietly added lots of functionality to RexxUtil. This is all
documented in the OREXX documents with a few additional notes in the FP
readmes. Most of the functionality has also been added to the Classic
Rexx library without notice. An exehdr dump of FP11's Classic
rexxutil.dll shows:

I'm sure FP15 users will find one or two more.

If usage instructions are needed, they are in Dick Goran's Handbook or in
the OREXX .INF. I would suggest Class REXX users, mark up their copies of
the Handbook and add a shadow to OREXX.INF.
