Ken,

Thanks for the message. I am assuming that VX-rexx offers more funtionality
than what I have from os2's version of rexx. What I am looking for is, good
serial I/O support. I love writing in rexx, it's far more understandable to
me than C or C++, as I have a great deal of qbasic/pds background that I
can't shake! :') I've tried like the dickens to "get the hang" of
CA-Realizer, but the fact that is was a "PM only" language really
turned me off.

Anyway, am I right about VX-Rexx? In that is handles serial I/O to some degree?

Thanks,
          Jerry
