By the way, for whatever it's worth, I've got "foreach" (of Unix fame),
written in REXX.  It uses the rather clunky approach of doing "backquote"
(another REXX, function which returns the standard output of a command,
like Unix `this`, which I also wrote) of "list" and then filtering out the
garbage, so it is slow and ugly, but it works.

Let me know if sounds interesting, and I'll post it . . .
