Yes, but typically both have bailed out, syntax error because the syscall 
they tried to do is not part of their version of the language.  Usually 
by line 3 of the script.  ARexx it turns out, is a HUGE superset of 
Regina Rexx. And ooRexx had dependencies that were not available in the 
repos at the time.  So I do about 1/3rd of what ARexx could do, in half 
the bash code now.

Thanks Jeremy.
