Dear Erich,

I use 64 bit version of ooRexx build 22.10.2017 (from Bsf4ooRexx currently) on 
a Mac running macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra).

I just realized that the default shell on Mac is still set as ksh in ooRexx 
whereas the default for MacOS is bash. I tried „say Command()“ and that should 
report the default shell adressed, right? It returned ksh

I remember a discussion some time ago and I think the consensus was that 
/bin/sh is the „right“ shell (and I agree on that), When I look at my machine 
/bin/sh report itself as bash, only difference to /bin/bash (both are 
executables, not symlinks) is that the prompt  for 
/bin/sh is sh-3.2$ and for 
/bin/bash it is bash-3.2$ 

According to the help they are both

GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin16)

So please make a note to change this when there is time, or is there anything 
against? In principle /bin/sh should work on all Unix/Linux dialects, right?

PS I have not forgotten the Installer for Mac, I am just a bit bogged down with 
other things right now. Will come back on that.

Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse,
P.O. Jonsson
