On Cex.S, if the script starts with a comment ol #is perhaps similar to the the modcconvention of putting (something like) #!/bin/sh at the beginning of a script to tell the C shell to use the Bourne shell, instead. So, in short: If the first line of an AmigarOS script is /* AREXX */ then Amigar &r hands the script @at@to AREXX and bails out. Cby mo.b b pC C b leee fu
