It can. Depends on what else is loaded. One can always run SERVREXX if
nothing else has started the REXX subsystem.

Of course, pause does not need REXX.

>Sigh! These scripts could be made much more useful in REXX.

That's why I typically use 4OS2. The syntax is a bit odd at times because
it tries to be cmd.exe compatible. If you don't specially need REXX's
string handling, 4OS2 is usually faster and easier to code.

>Yup, but it doesn't work now. GENGRADD or VGA (yuck!), but not SNAP.

Very strange. It will be interesting to see what the Scitech folks have
to say.
