I have a problem with an ARexx script that is started from inside GoldEd. Its purpose is to start BlitzBasic and display a success (or failure, or 'is already ruinning') message in GoldEds status bar. Here's the whole script, and it contains some GoldEd boilerplate code at the start and at the end. My script content starts after the INSERT YOUR CODE HERE comment:

/* Open BlitzBasic/TED from GoldED */

options results                             /* enable return codes     */
if (left(address(), 6) ~= "GOLDED") then    /* not started by editor ? */
  address 'GOLDED.1'

'LOCK CURRENT RELEASE=4'                    /* lock GUI, gain access   */
if (RC ~= 0) then
  exit

options failat 6                            /* ignore warnings         */
signal on syntax                            /* ensure clean exit       */


/* ------------------------ INSERT YOUR CODE HERE: ------------------- */
  cmd_start_ted = 'run >NIL: <NIL: SYS:DevTools/BlitzBasic2/Blitz2'
  status_msg = 'TED already running.'

  ted_port = 'TED_REXX1'
  resources_loaded = 1

  /* Open rexxsupport.library, needed for msg related functions */
  if ~Show('LIBRARIES', 'rexxsupport.library') then do
     if ~AddLib('rexxsupport.library', 0, -30) then do
        status_msg = 'Failed to open rexxsupport.library.'
        resources_loaded = 0
     end
  end

  if resources_loaded = 1 then do
    if ~Show('PORTS', ted_port) then do
      address command cmd_start_ted
      loaded=0
      do for 25 while loaded=0
        Delay(15)
        if Show('PORTS', ted_port) then do
          loaded=1
          status_msg = 'Sucessfully loaded TED.'
        end
      end

      if loaded=0 then do
        status_msg = 'Failed to load TED.'
      end
    end
  end

  'REQUEST STATUS="'status_msg'"'

/* ---------------------------- END OF YOUR CODE ----------------------- */

'UNLOCK' /* unlock user interface   */
exit
SYNTAX:
SAY "Sorry, error line" SIGL ":" ERRORTEXT(RC) ":-("
'UNLOCK'
exit

It works so far, it opens Blitz, but afterwards there is an error requester opened in GoldEd with the message: "Unknown command or script".

The error request doesn't appear if I comment out the line with the Delay(15).

This tells me that GoldEd wants to process the Delay(15). But this function, Delay(), isn't for GoldEd - it's a function of the rexxsupport.library that is opened a few lines above the Delay() call.

How can I manage that GoldEd doesn't want to process the Delay() but rexxsupport.library does instead?
