ARexx - First Steps
-------------------
ARexx - First Steps (ARFS) is a tutorial designed to help intending
and on-going users of ARexx. It concentrates on the basics, dealing
with about 130 topics, and including over 60 runnable examples. It is
arranged in a linear fashion for ease and clarity. Other sources of
help already exist, but they are generally packed with so much
material that they are daunting for beginners, and so full of links
that even the most hardened user of AmigaGuide documents can soon lose
his way and become bewildered.
While 'ARexx - First Steps' may be accessed using AmigaGuide, it was
designed for access via Gui4Cli and FastRead (both included).

*** Gui4Cli ***
An interpretive GUI programming language
(c) 1995-1997 by D.C.Keletsekis
Gui4Cli is an interpretive programming language for the easy
creation of GUIs. It provides Gadgets, Menus, Appitems etc, through
an easy script-like language, allowing you to construct and visually
edit in real time resizable font-sensitive GUIs and through them,
control other programs by issuing CLI and ARexx commands.

The author of Gui4Cli has graciously consented to the inclusion of
Gui4Cli in the ARFS package. We respond to his courtesy by affirming
that in our experience Gui4Cli is one of the best things that has ever
happened to the Amiga.
Gui4Cli is copyright D.C.Keletsekis and is SHAREWARE. If you find
ARFS useful, or if you yourself become a user of FastRead and/or
Gui4Cli, then it would appropriate to send a donation of a few
