I just use ARexx, (in an unaware kind of way:), but have never
programmed in it.  I believe it's a port of Rexx, though perhaps
enhanced.  It was included with later Amigas, but wasn't a product
developed by Commodore.  I think there was some argument over it
somewhere along the line.  But anyway, plenty of info about Rexx
here...
