> A good idea, David, but why not ooRexx?

Mostly that the extensions to do the objects and some of the syntax changes 
don't seem natural to me. I'm more of a procedural programmer, and my exposure 
to Smalltalk forever exploded any desire to do OO programming. I like the 
simplicity and elegance of the original REXX -- it's *just* complex enough to 
be serious, but not too complex for my mother to learn (on a AS/400, no less). 

Oxford University used to maintain a REXX port (not Regina). I might still have 
the source; I'd just need to compile it with the p-compiler.
