This directory contains REXX command files to demonstrate the use 
of REXX macros. It also shows how the performance can be improved
by loading the command file as a macro into the REXX macrospace instead
of calling the (external) command file repetitively.   

The files are used for the following purposes:

  sample.cmd		- Sample REXX command
  add_macro.cmd		- Add the REXX command into REXX macrospace
  del_macro.cmd		- Delete the macro from the REXX macrospace
  use_macro.cmd		- Use the command file and the macro

The first three command files are used in use_macro.cmd but can also be 
invoked by typing      

	rexx sample 
	rexx add_macro
	rexx del_macro
	rexx use_macro

in the command line of the shell in any order to observe the differences
of execution fo the REXX command 'sample' as an external routine and as 
a REXX macro.

For further information, see chapter "Macrospace Interface" in the 
REXX Programming Guide (file rexxpg.pdf).
