Go to your Workbench partition, look in the System drawer, and run Rexxmast. Then run your Arexx programme. If you don't want to do that every time, move Rexxmast to the WBStartup drawer and it will run on boot.

If I remember correctly, AREXX is a server allowing two or more programs to exchange information between each other. Before its time it was indeed  :-D
