How to execute ARexx script from memory?

Hi,

I'm trying to execute an ARexx script that is part of my C program (the script is in a C character array). I'm using arexx.class.

Executing the script from an external file ("test.rexx") works fine: 

  1.         IIntuition->IDoMethod (
  2.             oArexx,
  3.             AM_EXECUTE, 
  4.             "test.rexx",
  5.             NULL,
  6.             NULL, 
  7.             NULL, 
  8.             NULL, 
  9.             NULL 
  10.         );

I can also execute a single ARexx command by quoting it 

  1.         IIntuition->IDoMethod (
  2.             oArexx,
  3.             AM_EXECUTE, 
  4.             "\"say 'Hello there!'\"",
  5.             NULL,
  6.             NULL, 
  7.             NULL, 
  8.             NULL, 
  9.             NULL 
  10.         );

but not a long multi-line script with subroutines. Can it be done using the arexx.class?
