Subject:	SCOUG-Help: KeyRing/2 on Object Rexx

I have talked with Kevin McCoy because I can't get KeyRing/2 to work
under eCS 1.0. He simply said "make sure you don't have Object REXX as
your interrupter". He gave no reason why KeyRing/2 will not work under
Object REXX.

I know there is a way to make sure classic REXX is the interrupter but
so far I have not discovered the switch. Do you know if a standard eCS
installation sets classic or Object REXX as the default interrupter?
