A practical overview of the new Object REXX programming language explaining the differences from traditional OS/2 REXX as well as the "visual" extensions of REXX such as Watcom's VX-REXX, HockWare's VisPro REXX and Gpf Systems' Gpf REXX. Includes extensive programming examples for GUI development, Authoring Tools, Debugging, Graphics, the OS/2 System Object Model (SOM) and WorkPlace Shell. A disk containing all of the programs is also available.
From the Back Cover

ON THE DISK YOU'LL FIND:
* Sample programs and data such as Hello World
* A calendaring/scheduling package
* Utilities to help users rebuild desktop objects, show files with archive bits, and demonstrate usage of special variables
* Examples showing O-REXX with OpenDoc and WorkPlace Shell classes

Drawing from over 20 years of programming experience, leading OS/2 and LAN specialist Tom Ender covers O-REXX from the ground up. He begins with an overview and tutorial of traditional REXX and the GUI builders that facilitate REXX on OS/2. He then clearly presents the object-oriented concepts of O-REXX and the built-in classes that support implementation. He also discusses the future of O-REXX-particularly O-REXX on the Internet. You'll find
* Valuable programming on debugging and WorkPlace Shell
* An extensive overview of O-REXX variable types and objects
* An actual calendaring and program scheduling application developed in O-REXX
* A comprehensive description of native debugging tools
* Coverage of OS/2 RexxUtil package as an example of a REXX utility

Whether you're an OS/2 developer and programmer, systems or LAN administrator, software developer, systems programmer, or anyone looking to develop a working ability with O-REXX, Object-Oriented Programming with REXX is the right place to start.
