I use ARexx for variety of scripts, mostly simple tasks. One example was a simple program I used while I was Treasurer for a club. I used it to record cash, bank deposits and withdrawals. It generated a file that I pasted into my report each month. I used Final Writer 97 to type my report and another script written by someone else to save my report as a pdf file. I also wrote a sendmail program and some email reader programs. For text only emails. Nothing fancy. At first, my sendmail program called SMTPpost to actually send the email. However, about 5 years ago, my internet service provider made some changes to the protocol, and I had to update my sendmail program to talk directly with server using the new protocol.
