   You must have been using REXCFG at one time and didn't exit it properly.   
   Maybe during a crash or a reboot while it was still running. When REXCFG   
   is invoked, it locks up REX and waits for you to exit and SAVE whatever it   
   was that you changed or added to the CFG file.   
      
    BG> Any more ideas?   
      
   Dunno what else it could be at this point. Take a look at your *.LOG files   
   and see if you can find anything out of the ordinary happening some time   
   in the past - since your last CFG session.
