Hi Franz,

An alternative for the shebang would be

#!/usr/bin/env rexx

(Like this, the space is intentional)

You need to google /usr/bin/env to see what is going on, the Linux-way is a bit 
different from the Windows-way, steep learning curve, been there, done that.

Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse,
P.O. Jonsson
