1. Introduction
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
    
        Rexxit is a special editor for Rexx programmers with additional
        functions for easy, fast, and error-free Rexx programming.
        These are:

        - Three different methods to run your program from the editor,

        - word-sensitive help for Rexx commands,

        - the facility to insert Rexx commands via context menu,

        - full implementation of VRexx and RxMathFn,

        - the facility to insert subprograms via context-menu,

          and many, many more!
     

2. Installation
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

        Your version of Rexxit is bilingual. You can choose between English
        and German. There are two zip files: English.ZIP and Deutsch.ZIP.
        Simply unzip the file with your favorite language and your Rexxit
        installation is complete.


3. First Steps
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

        Rexxit has the same facilities as "normal" editors.
        Most of them should be selfexplaining. Nevertheless context
        sensitive help is available everywhere in the product.
        Just hit the F1 key.


4. System Requirements
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

        Rexxit offers in its context menu rexx statements which are
        new in Warp, so don't insert them if you want to use the
        Rexx program under 2.x. Rexxit needs 350K free space on hard
        disc without the Vrobj.dll(2.1b) and 1.2MB including the Vrobj.dll.
        To run Rexxit the Vrobj.dll must be placed in the working directory
        or in a directory specified in your config.sys LIBPATH statement.


5. Troubleshooting
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

        - If no context sensitive help is available...
          Then: Put the Rexxit.HLP file in a directory specified in
          your config.sys BOOKSHELF environment variable.


6. Registration
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
