REXX IDE recommendations?
RTAN:
Does anyone have a recommendation for a REXX IDE, and preferably one that runs on traditional OS/2 (i.e as opposed to one that needs the libraries included with ArcaOS)?
IDE is perhaps the wrong word, I really just mean something that has good syntax highlighting or can even highlight errors.
For syntax highlighting: similar to how Notepad++ can do this on Windows
For highlighting errors: similar to what Microsoft Visual Studio does in Windows
Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome, free or paid!
Thanks,
Richard.

There's eFTE2, both PM and cmd line versions. Folding editor, does Rexx syntax highlighting, has menu for adding various Rexx commands, only when a Rexx file is loaded. No error highlighting while editing.

The newest REXX IDE is 30 years old.
VX-Rexx, VisProRexx
I don't know how to get VX-REXX.

A complete REXX GUI environment is (was?) GPF Rexx. I bought it years ago and found it just a little difficult to learn, but once got the grip it was fairly powerful.
Also, DrDialog is a GUI REXX IDE pretty useful and easy to use.
FWR VX-REXX you may find useful options here:

Please consider browsing hobbesarchive instead of hobbes, since the latter is about to be discontinued.

Hello,
I used VisProRexx under Warp 3 and still use it under ArcaOS. While it's a visual design tool reminiscent of VB for windows, I've always found it to be a great addition to my toolbox of programming tools.
Best wishes,
Tony.
