DESCRIPTION

    MUIRexx is a program which serves as an interface
    between ARexx (Copyright 1987, William S.  Hawes) and
    MagicUserInterface (Copyright 1993-95, Stefan Stuntz).
    MUIRexx does not provide complete access to all of the
    capabilities of MagicUserInterface (MUI), however,
    quite a lot of capability is implemented in MUIRexx
    such as notification, icon buttons, and application
    objects (objects that react to icons dropped on them),
    as well as many standard MUI objects.  Complete
    graphical user interfaces as well as full applications
    can be developed using MUIRexx and ARexx macros.
    Additionally, it is also possible to dynamically change
    or add objects after the application has been created.
