Greetings mark!
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a coded message from mark lewis
to Don Guy was intercepted...

Yes and no. :-) I'm attempting to mirror a REXX script with a DOS batch file,
which loops until a semaphore has been cleared.
:Top
if exist FILENAME.EXT
sleep(x)
goto Top
I could simply eliminate the sleep() function, but I'd prefer to avoid
unnecessary CPU loading.
