thank you *very* much for your information which is *very* interesting!
This has been an incredible amount of research and experiments on your side, kudos to you and thank
you very much!

Windows has been starting to accept forward slashes instead of backward slashes slowly. So maybe the
test could/should be changed to:

What do you - or anyone else - think?

Ad requires directive: the supplied program name should be called by the Rexx instance on behalf of
the program the very first time and follow therefore the existing call semantics to not cause
surprises? (If the same program gets required by additional programs in the Rexx instance then the
program does not get called a second time, but its now known public routines and known public
classes are made immediately available to that program.)
Are you sure that requiring a program is not behaving like calling that program?
