- I put RexxMenu (a shareware program I wrote for making character-mode menus
- under OS/2) on CompuServe and was surprised to find that
- non-WPS users were using it. I hadn't expected RexxMenu to replace WPS
- when I wrote it; I thought it was just a way to put lots of options under a
- single WPS program object for a cleaner desktop.

- Anyway, it's available at hobbes (ftp-os2.nmsu.edu) under
- pub/2.0/programmer/rexx (I think). Or I can mail it.
