In a discussion a couple of weeks ago in the context of cREXX it was proposed that each Rexx
language would use a proper file extension, if the contained code can only be run by that language,
hence ".crexx". In that discussion, it also became clear that a proper extension for ooRexx programs
should be used if the program could only be executed by ooRexx.
We already have an extension ".orx" that we could use (associated with the operating system during
installation), hence suggesting to use that extension for any new Rexx programs that can only be run
by ooRexx.

In this context, another idea, suggestion: if not mistaken, one of the project names at IBM when
developing "Object REXX" was "oryx". There used to be an oryx logo on the OS/2 developer CDs, if I
recall correctly. (Back then, quite a few programming languages would use an animal as their logo.)
Nowadays, not being confined to FAT 8.3 file names anymore, how about supporting an optional
filetype named ".oryx"? Any comments?
