When i try to open an archive like lha or zip using the context menu option "extract" i get this message:
sys:rexxc/rxset: Comando sconosciuto
9 *-* 'sys:rexxc/rxset' id '`requestfile DRAWERSONLY TITLE="...
+++ Command returned 10
manca un argomento dopo la parola chiave
14 *-* 'xadunfile 'file' DEST='path;
+++ Command returned 20
Is there some configuration that i am missing?

What's the version of the file ExtractArc.rexx in your Sys:S/Arexx/ drawer? And the rx one too?

I got the same problem here, but:
sys:rexxc/rxset
Is that the correct default path under a standard AmigaOS4 installation ?

HEre Rxset is in root of the C: drawer.

Same here so "rexxc" part on the current default path may be wrong, can it be an old AmigaOS3 path :?:

Could you give the version of the file ExtractArc.rexx in your Sys:S/Arexx/ drawer?

Sure it is:
ExtractArc.rexx 52.2 (17.12.2006) Christoph Gutjahr
I use AmigaOS 4.1 Update 4 of course

EDIT: I solve the problem ! ;)

On ExtractArc.rexx file I just modify this line:
'sys:rexxc/rxset' id '`requestfile DRAWERSONLY TITLE="Select destination directory"`'
To:
'sys:c/rxset' id '`requestfile DRAWERSONLY TITLE="Select destination directory"`'
So in short as i suspected the "rexxc" path is wrong and need to be changed to "c", please can you add a ticket for that ? :)

It ought to be c:rxset

In fact, it should always have been that :)

Thanks Chris, thanks Samo :)

I wonder why no one complains about that problem...

Yep infact is a bit strange, this ARexx file is quite old (2006, from the OS 4.0 era ?), maybe at the time the path was different and correct under OS 4.0 but since then maybe they forget to update it according to the new (?) path on 4.1 or just they decide to not release an update for it (yet).

Don't know i never use AmigaOS 4.0 at home, my first AmigaOS was the 4.1 :D
