Well, Jerry, I absolutely disagree.
N + 1 or N++ or +=N as a stand-alone is NOT intuitive -- unless one has
spent a lengthy apprentice-ship in "C" -- and if so, why then do you look
for the powerful productivity assistance of NetRexx --surely C or native
Java rolls off your tongue and fingers?
I have much respect for your contributions on NetRexx but I think it's
REXX, NOT JAVA. As another commentator has so sensibly written -- if you
want Java constructs, use Java.
Many of us want NetRexx to reflect the clean, elegant, *understandable
simplicity* of Rexx -- and NOT have it turn into a C-wannabee.
The comment I DO agree with is "let's stop it" but -- please, let's stop it
without adding needless unwanted complexity.

I say, let it stop here. NetRexx is not clasicRexx, it's a language that
allows
programmers to develope Java code in an easy and effient manner. That said,
if
it can be done in Java, it should be able to be done in NetRexx...
N+1... Great idea...
