Certainly it only makes sense to code one or the other. Doing both is belt
and suspenders, which is perhaps a good thing with pants, but just adds
maintenance-obscuring noise to source code.

Seymour,

"Note: once you execute "address ISREDIT", there is no need to put
"ISREDIT" in front of every command."

Maybe not - but I think it is good practice - it protects you from
problems if you happen to ADDRESS another environment when you next
change the REXX exec. Admittedly this might not be a big issue with
simple edit macros - but in larger REXX execs you can easily shoot
yourself in the foot. 

I also think that it makes the code easier on the eye and easier to
maintain.
