   SENDREXX  RexxPortName  CommandLine

  This is the command used to send ARexx messages to other programs.

  RexxPortName  is the name of the Rexx port to which you want to 
                send the command. 
                * Port names are always Case Sensitive !

  CommandLine   is the Rexx command you want to send.

  example :

  SendRexx  rexx_ced  'open $Myfile'

  - will send the command to load a specified file to the rexx 
    port of the CygnusEd editor. "rexx_ced" is CygnusEd's rexx 
    port name. 

  This command sets the following internal variables :

   $$RETCODE  contains the value returned by ARexx - 0 means OK
   $$REXXRET  contains the value returned in RESULT2, if any.

  If you don't know anything about ARexx, you're not alone - neither 
  do I. You don't have to know anything though to use this command. 
  Most programs provide ARexx commands. All you have to know, is 
  what these are and use them as you would use CLI commands.

  You can do a lot with this command, as you will see.

  Example :  Run Gui  
             Gui4Cli Source 
             ARexx   Source
