The point being that AREXX is *just like* REXX on the IBM mainframes.
This was the whole point of it in the first place. So if you know
REXX you know AREXX and vice versa sort of. I get the feeling that
what I think REXX is, what Leo thinks it is, and what Jim think it
is are all different and all wrong. We have a definite marketing problem
here. [I've never used REXX on a mainframe, but friends I trust assure
me AREXX is just like it].
