That was my reaction when I saw it and started reading.  "Holy
<bleep!>  How is it that I didn't know about this long ago?"  (I
considered myself a more than usually knowledgeable Palm user who
actively *looked* for stuff like that, so $DIETY knows how I missed
it.)

Yep.  Same guy.

I suspect you'll find it of interest.  John can probably fill you in.

Possibly, BREXX.  There are several flavors of Rexx out there, all
based on Mike Colishaw's original design.  IBM has OORexx, which they
made open source years back.  Mark Hessling maintains Regina Rexx.
Vasilis Vlachoudis at CERN is responsible for BREXX, which I recall
getting ported to some odd things.

The REXX Language Association home page has an announcement of an
Android port of REXX from Jaxo, who did a PalmOS version back when, so
that might be it too..

You're quite welcome.
