uniXEDIT

Hello,
 
we've got some trouble with the text editor uniXEDIT from
"The Workstation Group", Rosemont, IL 60018.
 
Within uniXEDIT V1.00 notes it's written about uniXEDIT macros:
 
"uni-REXX files in the current directory can be executed from within
uni-XEDIT by entering the filename. For example, entering COMBINE as
a uni-XEDIT primary command will execute the uni-REXX program
COMBINE.xedit from the current directory. Within a uni-XEDIT macro,
the destination for commands issued by the uni-REXX program is
automatically set to uni-XEDIT."
 
We installed that software product under /usr/local/uni/uniREXX
resp. /usr/local/uni/uniXEDIT on our SUNs with the "tar" command.
Then we created the following small uniXEDIT macro named test.xedit
in our home directory:
 
  /* Test */
  "TOP"
 
After entering the editor uniXEDIT in the same directory we inserted
some lines to the dataset, went to the bottom by entering the "bottom"
command and then tried to execute the macro "test.xedit" by entering
"test" in the commandline. Nothing happened and no error message
appeared. Why? What did we do wrong?
We also tested this with some changes like writing "TOP" in small
letters, inserting an "exit" command after the "TOP" command,
changing the quotation marks from " to ', leaving them away ...
 
Perhaps someone can tell us what we did wrong!
We would also like to know if anybody else uses these products.
 
Please give us answer to our mail. Send your answer to
