You'd have to take over the input and the output routines. Look at
PMREXX in OS/2.
However, if you want something more than a toy then you'd need to do
three things that would make it more difficult:
1. Monitor variables against specific values.
2. Run at near full speed in between breakpoints, watchpoints
and such.
3. Handle more than just TSO line-mode applications. What do you do
if the REXX code you're debugging itself uses ISPF services? What
if it's not in a TSO environment at all?
It might take less effort to port OOREXX to TSO and to provide your
own debugging hooks.
