HI all

It is a real disapointment that the Gui part of Object Rexx for Windows
were not open sourced, nor was OS/2 object rexx. Why was this????

Since the run time was open sourced why is it not possible to simply
develp a Object Rexx program to create Rexx e. to make the resource file
in Object Rexx? I have never tried the IBM OBject rexx but what I would
like to see is the following

to populate a multi line text box, have it as a subclass of the stram
class ie.

x=.stream~new(dialogname)
x~guery(exist) /* return if it open */
x~stream¨open() /* open in read write mode */
x~linout("test string out"
x~close()

the same can be done for list boxs/ combo etc

regards
