Re: Using EHLLAPI from ooRexx

Windows also looks for DLL's in the same directory as the running program. So you could copy the PCOMM DLL to your working directory as a test to see what happens. And if no more DLL's are needed, it might even work. Or like Seymour said, try putting the PCOMM DLL directory in your PATH.
