Re: REXX

Couldn't agree more. Data typing is contextual. Array indexing with
character strings is neat, similar to something in PERL.

400 implementation can be a little strange with regard to file I/O. There
is also a cost in performance to establish a runtime environment for REXX.

Another cool thing, however, is that you can put REXX statements inline
into net.data scripts.
