I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but all of those handy features
are readily available to NetRexx. The "killer app" example I used in my SHARE
NetRexx presentations a decade or so ago demonstrated how easy it was to create
a GUI application (not an applet) using Swing. It was easier than ISPF... :-)
NetRexx transparently supplants Java-the-language. All of the cool things you
can do with Java-the-platform are readily available to NetRexx classes.
That's why I tell folks that NetRexx is "Rexx with the World's Largest Built-in
Function Package".
