Basically, I followed Peter's instructions. Double click on the RUN.EXE program and
obtain a small grey window with three (3) buttons on it. The function of these buttons as
as follows:

1. LEFT: Removes the left most character from the contents of the
clipboard (takes the clipboard contents into a REXX variable, removes the left most
character and replaces the clipboard with that result)

2. RIGHT: Takes the contents of the clipboard, places that result into a
REXX variable, adds a space to the right-most portion portion, replaces the clipboard
with that result.

3. CANCEL: Exit the REXX program, RUN.EXE

I created the program, using VisProRexx. I use object REXX on my system, not classic
REXX. Sometime ago I discovered that there's an incompatibility between VisProRexx,
Classical REXX and Object REXX. If I create a VisProRexx program under object
REXX and then switch to classical REXX, that program willl not run properly. I have to
rebuild it under Classical Rexx. Similarly, if I am in Classical REXX and create a
VisProRexx program, I cannot then switch to Object Rexx and run it.

Peter, if you like, I can temporarily switch to Classical Rexx and rebuild the RUN.EXE
program.
