How does Python combine with ARexx?  Can you control applications
which provide an ARexx interface?

I stopped using my Amiga 4000/030 in 1996 or so, long before I
realized C isn't always the best choice for getting things done. I
messed around a bit with ARexx though, and while I found it neat to be
able to script an application from the inside or from the outside
using ARexx, I didn't really care for the language itself -- too
primitive for anything but the tiniest programs.
