No such luck--this has the same result of making the routines available
to my program, but not to tryrexx when my program calls it.

The whole point is that I don't want to modify rexxtry.rex. But this
does suggest how to do it with minimal typing after rexxtry starts:
I can simply CALL MYMATH from there.
I did run into another dead end, in three different ways, in trying to
minimize it even further. I thought maybe my program could define a
class method to do it that I could then call from rexxtry:
::Class ! Public
::Method ! Class
Call MyMath
But again, this is only exposed to programs that call mine with
::REQUIRES, not to ones that mine calls. I can pass the class as an
argument, but I still can't use it from rexxtry, because INTERPRET can't
issue USE ARG. And if I try passing the class to another program and
using it there, I can call the method successfully, but that *still*
doesn't expose the routines to the called program.
