Some needed chapters in the NetRexx documentation.

[ThSITC]

As all of you know, and as I am finding out more and more, there *are*
a lot of useful classes in the Java library.

It might be, however, extected, that a NetRexx NEWBIE is NOT beeing
aware of what is already in there.

Thus, a NetRexx newbie as me (trying to solve eveything in pure NetRexx)
does make some unnecesary work, especially when coming from classic
Rexx, as I -historically- did.

Thus, by feeling is, that we would need something as a NetRexx HINTS
document, primarily intended for programmers knowing some other
languages, and now wanting to switch from those other languages *to
NetRexx*.

This Hints must not be necessaraly in the Language Reference (as this is
a Reference manual, with nearly no examples at all).

Question(s), as usual,  to the group:

1.) do you think such a manual would be needed ?
2.) Shall I start to write one?
3.) *or* shall we start to bring the IBM REDBOOK first up to date?

(I would, however, need some native english speaker's to edit my poor
english)

((and I would, also, make heavy usage in the examples of my
runtime.compatibility.jar, as we might expect that the first users of
Netrexx
will be those who already do know Rexx from somewhere else: but
this i my personal option, only))

As I do have a lot of small NetRexx programs for my varios tests, I
could help, when desired.
