Clist has been subject to the same restrictions since long before Rexx came to 
TSO/E. It's not up to Rexx to fix the problem.

And that's the source of recurrent misery reported on these lists.  Rexx really 
ought to fix that or arrange that it be fixed so OUTTRAP captures all (or at 
least linemode) terminal output.  Possibly selected by a keyword option.

There's a reason that UNIX has separate streams for messages and main output.  
But those can be merged by redirection.

Wjs once reported that he petitioned the powers that be that Rexx messages and 
TRACE output issued under OMVS go to stderr rather than stdout.  The request 
was denied.

I guess that's better than if it trapped nothing at all.
