Watcom makes VX-REXX.  Hockware makes VisPro/REXX.  IBM distributes VREXX:

VREXX2.ZIP    198K  2-03-96  VREXX is Visual REXX for OS/2 Presentation
                             Manager!  VREXX is a library of OS/2 2.0 REXX
                             functions that will give your REXX programs a PM
                             interface.  And you DO NOT need to know anything
                             about PM programming!  VREXX includes functions
                             for creating windows, drawing graphics, displaying
                             text in multiple fonts, and displaying dialog
                             boxes.  Dialogs are available for filename
                             selection, font and color selection, string input,
                             and message display.  Other dialogs allow
                             presentation and selection of options through
                             listbox, table, radiobutton and checkbox dialogs.
                             On-line help is included, along with some sample
                             REXX programs that show how easy it is to add
                             windows and dialogs to Your REXX programs.  This
                             is freeware from IBM.

VREXX2.ZIP is here for FReq (1:323/107) or download (+1 401 944 8498).
