Walter, it is certainly possible on Windows.

If you already have ooRexx installed on one of you own computers,
simply copy the entire directory structure to a usb stick.  Or zip it
up.

On a machine where you want to use it, plug in the usb drive, or unzip
the zip file into a directory of your choice.  Then you can add the
top level ooRexx directory to you path, and things would work.

I don't have time to spell out the exact directions, but:  If you are
running from a console window you could add it to the path directly
using:

set PATH=<dirToOoRexx>;%PATH%

Otherwise set it in the Control Panel ->System->Advanced.

Even if you don't have Admin privileges you can set your individual
path, which is appended to the system path for everything you do.

rxapi will start automatically when you run a Rexx program and will
keep running until you log off.  It will just run as a regular process
rather than as a service.  Which is just fine.
