Thank you very much for these clarifications!
Another question ad using a monitor for input: is it o.k. to cause an error in
the LINEIN method by
not returning a value, if the input monitor supplied all of its items as input?
Currently the following code works without raising a condition and causes the
end of input to be
noticed:
::method linein
expose log thisClzName rxq
val=rxq~pull
if val=.nil then return
str=.dateTime~new thisClzName", received="pp(val,"{","}")
call lineout "stderr:", "--->" str "<---"
log~append(str)
return str
"log" is an array, "rxq" a RexxQueue containing the data to be returned as
input for the executing
program/command one by one.

P.S.: On a side-note: it is great that using monitors one can act in
"real-time" i.e. acting upon
output or error output.
