One thing I forgot to mention which may be helpful.

"setupBSF.rex" also creates a batch/shell file named "rexxj.cmd"
(Windows) resp. "rexxj.sh" (Linux).
Just copy that script to wherever your path points to and you can invoke
any of the Rexx scripts from the commandline without a need to run
"setEnvironment4BSF" at all.
E.g. change int "bsf4oorexx/samples" and issue then "rexxj.cmd
ShootOut.rxj" or "./rexxj.sh ShootOut.rxj" which would run the
Magic-8-example that dates back to a Rexx Symposium in 2001 (I think),
where Chip gave all attendees the task to create a GUI app to solve it
(that solution actually was developed and run under OS/2 back then). It
may also make a nice demonstration what becomes possible with Rexx, if
camouflaging Java as Rexx...
