 I have done some programming in REXX, and it is just as your shell
 language. Within a REXX program, you can control all the enviroments;
 for an IBM VM/CMS machine you can controll the CP, CMS, and XEDIT.
 With this must power in the language and it's ease to use, no wonder
 IBM has kept it arround, and planning to have a version running on
 their MVS machines also. It is a fun language and easy to write   
 quick and powerfull utility programs.
