REXX is a good scripting language for many things.  I wrote a lot of 
REXX scripts when I was working for IBM.  Much easier than doing the 
same thing in compiled languages such as C.

Even after leaving IBM I used it quite extensively on OS/2.  But it is 
one of the many languages I unfortunately have not kept up on over the 
years.
