I would write a function package to do all of those little things that are impossible in REXX but trivial in HLASM.

If one were writing a Rexx exec to run in an interactive TSO environment, what would be the best way to clear the screen and make the next SAY write to the first line of the screen? Calling out to a user-written assembler routine that used the STLINENO macro? Or ... ? 2. From a Rexx exec running in interactive TSO, what would be the best way to determine the number of lines on the terminal? Basically the number of SAYs that one could do before the user received a *** prompt? Any related considerations?
