TWO design errors IMHO:

XLC should provide a way to get the entry R0. Passing things in R0 is not 
totally uncommon.

Rexx should be passing the environment block using standard linkage. It is 
passing a standard list of parameters and control blocks as it is. Why put the 
critical environment block anywhere else but in the standard linkage?
