AR> Heard of it. Don't have it. Win9?/DOS version available anywhere?

I really don't have a clue and it's been at least 3 years since I did
anything in it.  At that time I was working on a system written in Rexx
for OS/2.  IIRC, if the first two lines look like C-style comments
(empty or not):

/* */
/* */

the program gets tokenized (compiled but not linked) and the tokenized
module appears in a DIR listing as just another column on the source
code line (I forgot what that column was called - leave it to IBM to
come up with something unusual and proprietary).  In a Rexx program one
could have most of what makes up a regular language: looping, decision
making, user input, scoping, etc.

I've seen (about 3 or 4 years ago) something called personal Rexx.  I
believe it was for DOS platforms.  Otherwise, you may have to pick up a
copy of OS/2 - Rexx is included with a lot of soft copy documentation.
