We used to call these Control Blocks, as in the interface to the OS. In Rexx we can address environments. One of these is the OS shell, these have data to exchange information with the addressed environments, like for example how they can update the Rexx variable pool. I just wondered if these all are instance variables, or whether there is some other method needed to synchronise acces, for example to make sure they are not garbage collected prematurely, but are when the thread using them has ended.
