On IBM mainframes, Rexx is available under VM/CMS (This was the first
implementation I am aware of), and MVS/TSO.
(nb: IBM thinks that TSO stands for "Time Sharing Option",  but users
know it as Terribly Slow Option, also Time Squandering Option.  
I have also heard it referred to as "TSslow".)
 
There is an implementation for IBM PCs/Clones called "Personal Rexx"
from Mansfield who also put out an Xedit clone called "Kedit" for the
same platforms.  You can write Kedit macros in Personal Rexx.
Never tried it myself, but I have heard lots of good things about
both of these products.
