RXSem 1.03 has been released, and is available both on Hobbes where it will eventually migrate to:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/rexx/rxsem103.zip
and on the author's home page:

RXSem is a well-documented REXX extension DLL providing nearly direct access to OS/2's native semaphores, both 16-bit and 32-bit mutex semaphores, and to 32-bit event semaphores. It has a few extras, including the ability to use DDE to Netscape (OpenNetscapeWindow), set the current window's title (RxWinSetTitle), query & set the process's priority (PriorityQuery/PrioritySet), find the process ID(s) of an executable (ProcessIDsOf), and even the ability to kill processes based on their process ID (KillProcess).
New to this release include some window-list handling, querying what is showing (and what isn't!), as well as toggling entries between visible and invisible.
