For some it is easier to install a single rexx exec than multiple rexx,
panels, msgs, skels.

It might be easier to use ISPF dynamic panels, but that should work.
However, is it really bothersome to distribute multiple elements?

  LIBDEF ?

I never tried "being clever" but I wonder if one could dynamically write a
panel definition into a temporary PDS that's been libdeffed, then use the
DISPLAY command to pick up & use that panel definition?

If that doesn't work (maybe ispf caches the panel PDS's directory?) then one
could presumably do it with

  - allocate a temp pds
  - write a single panel definition member to it
  - libdef that temp pds (by ddname)
  - display
  - undo the libdef
  - delete the temp pds
