  • REXX Reference Summary Handbook Announcement *
  • Second Edition Availability *

The second edition of the "REXX Reference Summary Handbook" (ISBN 0-9639854-1-8) is a 160 page, "keyboard-side" companion which details all of the instructions and functions in SAA REXX distributed with OS/2. It also describes all of the functions included in the REXXLIB and RXWINDOW external function packages available from Quercus Systems - the Personal REXX developer.

The most significant addition to the second edition, subtitled "Everything You Wanted To Know About Creating Workplace Shell Objects With REXX, But Didn't Know Where To Look", is the inclusion of details for creating, maintaining and manipulating Workplace Shell objects in REXX. Much of this information is being made generally available for the first time.

The Handbook is not intended as either a tutorial or a learner's guide. With its 30 page cross referenced index, the Handbook is an important tool that will allow the novice REXX user and the REXX veteran alike to easily locate any needed function as well as identifying the various functions which deal with a particular subject.

The Handbook has been accredited by IBM for use of the official OS/2 logo and C F S Nevada, Inc. is a member of the IBM Independent Vendor league and Premier Developer Application Program.

The price for the Handbook is $19.95 plus $3.50 per copy shipping & handling ($4.50 for Canada, $6.00 for Europe, $7.00 for Australia and New Zealand). The Handbook is shipped via first class mail.
