there is an interface to REXX in the toolkit. it used eg. to use REXX as a
macro language for programs. With this interface you can set REXX variables
from your C prog and v.v. 

sample is in toolkit:

eq:

Directory of I:\toolkt21\rexx\samples\callrexx

12.03.93  18.16       1354           0  backward.fnc

this is a REXX program

12.03.93  18.16       3789           0  callrexx.c

and this a C program, passing data to and reading from the above rexx. 

you can also add a subcommand handler to REXX (from within your EXE) (eg.
EPM  and PMGlobe32 are doing so) do allow statements like:

'set xy=3'
'set cursor=4'
...


(function to be looked at : RexxRegisterSubComEXE (or alike)).
