Another point is that unlike other inter-process-communication specs, you can get your hands on the public data via the 'Clip List'. If the applications interface to ARexx 'correctly' one would be able to integrate any set of applications. Unfortunately, the milliunum isn't here yet. No application (capable of truly interactive use, AmigaTeX doesn't count) I know of will communicate asynchronously with ARexx. This is difficult but not impossible. At the least, I would like an editor and a terminal emulator which do this. Any body know of such beasts. (I have an order for TxEd Plus, but my dealer says that he has outstanding backorders from last Nov. !?)
