lemgandiSo Awesome!!! I got to play on a 370 when I was an undergrad, it was pretty awesome for the time. Rexx was my first exposure to scripting languages, it was clunky but really cool. You could emulate a terminal in it by stacking commands into storage in reverse order and then playing 'em back IIRC.
