Python

[The Doughnut Rep]

	I seriously doubt this is the problem. While "OS/2 Rexx" has hooks to
enable access to the WPS/PM and for creating graphical applications, I
don't think Skip went to this extent.
Any text based Rexx script should work the same whether in OS/2, NT,
OS/390 or AmigaOS.

	More likely the issue is that OS/2 comes standard installed with
Rexx, but Rexx for WinNT/95 is a product that you must purchase
separately. Since David has already claimed to be a non-programmer,
assuming that he does not have Rexx already installed would not be
sticking my neck out too far, I should think.

Personally, I would've just gone to my address book and dragged everyone
to one mail message to update everyone. I'm sure David has valid reasons,
but I can't imagine myself ever needing to send to everyone in my "Sent
Mail" list. But if you really have _that_ many people to send to, you can
resort to the scheme I described earlier, unless you like pen 'n paper.
