Don't laugh.  I've just installed 6.304E and was delighted to discover that
REXX is a standard feature of CMD.EXE.  How long has this been the case?  I
had the Microsoft SDK versions #1, #2 and #3 but didn't know about REXX.
Did those versions support it without telling me how?

SDK #3 = 6.123.  I never had any version between that and 6.304E.

REXX has been introduced to OS/2 1.2 extended edition, then in 1.3
standard edition.

In 2.0 you get additional OS/2 related functions if you load the
Rexx-utilities (e.g. reading/writing INI-files, searching files,
querying WPS-objects, creating WPS-objects etc.).

REXX has been around in the EE version of OS/2 for a little while now.  
You can even call PM functions from REXX.  basically, anyhting that lives 
in a DLL can be called by a REXX program - quite slick.  Kinda makes 
programming .cmd files fun...
