Rick, I don't have a whole lot of help here. I really don't have much understanding of how the scripting host is supposed to function, and at one point I spent a lot of time trying to find examples and / or documentation on it. A couple of comments that really are more to your original post yest

[Oorexx-devel] Some findings on how orxscript works

2009-05-03 Thread Rick McGuire
Ok, I've managed to get a debug 3.2.0 install set up on my system, and the stuff I'm finding is a bit on the bizarre side. Essentially all I did was set break points on all of the methods of orxscript.cpp and trace all of the calls between the scripting host and the Rexx scripting engine. Initial
