A 'script', as in; "a small program written for a command interpreter...".
And yes, on DOS or Windows systems, they've been commonly referred to as
'batch' files.

On linux/unix systems, there is no requirement for using an extension on a
file name (like '.bat' or '.cmd') in order to identify a file as a batch or
script file, although it's not unusual to use one for other reasons. (The
command line shell checks the first line in the file for the sequence "#!" at
the beginning of the line; if present, then what follows on that line is the
path & name to the program to be used to process the rest of the file.)
So to me, the line "System: between" noted above indicates that IRex is
attempting to run the batch/script file named "between", which the error says
it can't access and/or find. That file is in the base directory where Internet
Rex is installed, where the Irex executables are installed, including 'rexl'.
It is set as an excutable.
