STRREXPRC (Start REXX Procedure)

Or make yourself a little command, EVAL or whatever, as a wrapper if
you really want command line access to an expression evaluator.

BTW, you can use more than just 4 function math.  You can also use %
for integer division, // for remainder (not quite the same as modulo
since the result can be negative), and ** for raising to a whole
number power.

Order of precedence is the usual algebraic sequence, which can of
course be overridden with parentheses.
