Are you sure tht isn't MVS only? Neither my REXX Reference Summary nor
my OREXX documentations shows it, and a quick test gets

  REXXTRY.CMD lets you interactively try REXX statements.
    Each string is executed when you hit Enter.
      Enter 'call tell' for a description of the features.
  Go on - try a few...             Enter 'exit' to end.
say 1 /= 2
  Oooops ! ... try again.     Invalid expression
                              Incorrect expression detected at "="

>   \=, ¼=, /=

If you want that to be readable then you'll need to indicate the
character set in your header. I assume that you meant

   \=, ¬=, /=

On MVS. Has it been added to OREXX? Has anyone tried /= with Personal
REXX or Regina?
