Jon, consistent naming in the docs is something we're definitely trying to
aim for.
We're currently referring to a lot of terms with different names:
- Rexx, REXX, ooRexx, Open Object Rexx
- nil, .nil, Nil, The Nil object
- true, true ("1"), .true, .true ("1")
- line-end marker, line-end separator, line terminator, line end,
new-line
We'll try to find and change to consistent names as time permits.
Suggestions are always welcome!
For the example you're quoting, "Rexx / Object Rexx", the term to use
should be "ooRexx" throughout all docs.
