1. Is AREXX Running?

Solution: Start AREXX by double clicking on the REXXMAST icon that is located in the Workbench System directory. To have ARexx start automatically each time the system is booted, have the end-user place it in the WBStartup directory on their boot drive, and re-boot their system. Alternatively, the user could add the following line to their s:startup-sequence file: run >nil: sys:system/rexxmast

2. Magic Workbench installed?

Magic Workbench causes problems with the Flyer's AREXX commands because it installs a proportional font as the standard WorkBench font.

Solution: Set the Workbench font to be a non-proportional font. This is done with Prefs/Font.

3. Is Power Macros installed? Power macros installs RP-Start into the user-startup file. RP-Start interferes with the Flyer AREXX commands.

Solution: Eliminate RP-Start from the user-startup file.
