I still miss the Amiga ARexx implementation which piggy-backed on the
Amiga IPC scheme* such that any application that opened a "RexxPort" could
be the target for "ADDRESS <rexxport>", and hence scripted using ARexx (Did
IBM ever get beyond the two choices of command-line and a line-editor?).
* Granted, that IPC relied upon the fact that all applications shared one
memory space, so there wasn't the overhead of copying data structures from
sending application to the port's linked list and thence to the receiving
application.
