hmmm... I'm still making typos... it's VREXX/2...

 DG>     Sorry, have not seen that one.

It's a pretty nice visual rexx, from IBM available from the Employee
Written Software (EWS) program. It has nice features, but a few drawbacks
that I'd like to get away from. Namely, there's no way to
"lockup" your rexx scripts from prying eyes and sometimes the
text that you stick in the boxes get's cut off... :'(

But hey! It's free and easy to work with... :')

This I knew... and I won't be buying it...

This you taught me... Thanks... I think I'll be buying this one.

Hmmm... OS2REXX isn't available to me... Oh well...

Thanks, Doug, for your messages and comments.

Cheers!
