  IBM hasn't seem to have made much of Rexx on OS/2 to this point.
Actually, just wildly speculating, I wonder what will come of the
talks between IBM and Apple being held this week.  IBM apparently is
interested in licensing some of Apple's system software, while Apple
is on recor as wanting to make AppleEvents/IAC a platform independent
standard.
  Maybe we'll see IBM adopt Apple's IAC for OS/2?
