Hello blitzers

I'm having a few difficulties with the RWE Arexx lib and I wondered if
anybody could help. I've managed to set up my arexx port and can recieve
messages. The problem is when I try to send messages to another arexx port.
(ie the mp3 player Amplifier) When I use

RXSendCommand "AMPLIFIER.1","PLAY" everything is ok.

When I use
OriginalVol$ = RXSendCommand ("AMPLIFIER.1","VOLUME")
I get the volume in OriginalVol$. But the problem is setting the volume. At
a shell I would use:
rx "ADDRESS AMPLIFIER.1 VOLUME 20"

But when in Blitz I try
a$=RXSendCommand ("AMPLIFIER.1","VOLUME 20")

or even

rexxmsg.l = RXCreateMsg
RXSetArg rexxmsg,1,"VOLUME"
RXSetArg rexxmsg,2,"30"
RXSendMsg rexxmsg,"AMPLIFIER.1"

My program just locks up. I can still use my computer but my Arexx port
won't respond anymore. Can anyone help?

Thanks
Steven Croy
