I worked on the code, tested. One thing that occurred was that during
testing a lot of Shell windows opened, due to debugging code and using
tell application "Terminal" and a do shell script inside that block.
Anyway, after many changes I now seem to have code that communicates
by the clipboard between AppleScript and Rexx, synchronous a far as I
can see now.
Further tests are necessary, but for now thank you!
When it works, programming is just fun.
