According to the REXX Reference,

When a REXX program is running in interactive mode, all terminal input and output
is displayed by the ILE Session Manager. The ILE Session Manager is a system
facility that provides line mode access to the display for output and the keyboard for
input. This line mode operation is fixed and cannot be changed by the use of
display files.

You could always get prompts from a DSPF in RPG, say, then send the values to the variable pool for REXX, then STRREXPRC. Or have commands that use a REXX procedure as the command-processing program. Once in the REXX environment, things are pretty quick - it can read and write to PFs, too. But it's probably slower than an app using only RPG or COBOL. It IS often the best choice for various text-handling stuff, IMO.

Is it possible to pass parameters via DSPF screens?  I'd like to build
some applications using REXX on the 400 but line at a time entry is a
"gating" problem; it is soooooo passe.
