As you may or may not know, I maintain a Frequently Asked Questions list
for REXX that I post every once in a while to comp.lang.rexx and other
appropriate groups.  (The current FAQ can be FTPd from rexx.uwaterloo.ca
as /pub/rexxfaq.)  I am now also starting to collect information on
OS/2 applications that support REXX.  A similar list is maintained 
regularly for ARexx.  As with the REXX FAQ, I will post the list regularly
to appropriate newsgroups, which may or may not include comp.lang.rexx
but will certainly include comp.os.os2.programmer.

To do this I need your help, but you really don't have to do much:  just
send me some email describing any applications that you know of under OS/2
that use REXX.  You might also mention to me HOW it uses REXX, as in:

  1) Can only spawn REXX macros 
  2) Includes a subcommand interface (i.e., you can send the application
     commands using ADDRESS)
  3) Defines new external functions

If the application is freeware, please tell me where you got it as I
may wish to keep a copy on my FTP site.  

Hopefully this list will help people (users and developers) clue in
to the usefulness of REXX as a standard macro language for OS/2.

          So is Windows NT short for "Windows, NOT?"
