: Hello.. I have some questions..
: 
: 1. Is there a good text editor running under OS/2 1.3? If so,
:    how can I get it?
: 

Why 1.3?  And yes you can get Brief for OS/2.

: 2. Someone had told me that there is a paper documentation about
:    use of PM functions in REXX. If still so, how can I get it?
:    And I had heard that there is a help file named REXX.INF?
:    True? If so, can I get it? Of course, from where?

Don't think this is in place yet but it will probably be IBM's answer
to Visual Basic when available.  I saw it at Research two+ years ago.

: 
: 3. I hate COBOL but here, programmers want to write with
:    it. Do you have sample codes in COBOL/2, using
:    PM functions or OS/2 Service Calls? If so, *8) will
:    you send them to me?

Can't help.

: 
: 4. In these networks, with WHICH NODE/SITE sould I contact to
:    discuss something about IBM's FBSS/2?

??? FBSS/2 ???

: 5. Is it possible to develope Device Drivers for OS/2, by
:    programming in COBOL/2? Here, programmers are asking
:    about this.

There should be a special award given for this.  It would be like entering
a Greyhound bus in a Grand Prix.  Did you say programmers?  :-)  In truth
I have no idea.  But if it has an interface to C functions, probably.

: 
: Thank you for your interest.. Kind regards..
