Hello Mark, No-one else saw the exec Mark, as it was too large for the list. Sorry folks, the example I sent to Mark was 22 lines too many to be accepted to the list.
As you will notice all references to 'Say' in the exec are prefixed with 'Call '. Which means the text after 'Say' will be processed by the procedure called 'Say' instead of the normal REXX Say function. This means the text is written to IPCS and will be displayed in a full screen scrollable window, instead of being written line by line. Similarly, the 'Storage' REXX function is replaced by a call to a procedure which interfaces to IPCS storage functions. Since it is a REXX exec it must be stored anywhere in your SYSPROC or SYSEXEC datasets. Execution is either from IPCS option 6, or on the IPCS command line with a IP prefix. It wont work with any IPCS command, as it is stand-alone.
