I was think of a "command processor" aka some program, which would parse
the command line, accumulate all the "-e" values & place them in what the
REXX documentation on IRXEXEC calls a "in-storage control block". I have
done some minor reading about this and the I/O processing for the input
data is non-trivial. I was hoping to be able to supply an I/O address to a
routine. But apparently you must supply DD names. Rats. That really
complicates things in a UNIX environment. I guess that in UNIX, I could
make some pipes in the UNIX filesystem and do a DYNALLOC to allocate them
so that I/O on the pipes is done via some subtasks. {blech}
