Yes, that was the idea. These classes are implemented as external
packages, where the implementation is currently deeply tied to
Windows. The WindowsEventLog is one that by definition would not be
implemented on another platform.  And some others.

There are a couple, like WindowObject and MenuObject that could be
implemented on other platforms. But, even then, I think they would
still be better off documented in a separate document. Like rxftp and
rxmath.

Most of those, I think are in RexxUtil.  SysFileMove is the one that
comes to my mind.
