   That's a normal event, unless you're seeing this in a continuous screen   
   flashing by...in which case there is a config problem that Rex doesn't   
   like.

   Rex uses *.0 files to tell itself that there is activity being processed.   
      
   rexup.0 tells rex not to load a 2nd time because it is already running.   
   rexbusy.0 tells rex to wait for an event to finish before it starts   
   another. i.e. you shouldn't be saving or backing up these files anywhere   
   that rex can find them.   
      
   PS - what does the /q flag do in a DOS delete command?
