ZedREXX provides users with the ability to quickly and easily build a
graphical user-interface into any of their REXX scripts.@{par}@{line}
Unlike the complex and cryptic syntax that other REXX GUI systems require,
ZedREXX syntax is structured, simple and easy to read.  Common GUI
techniques are implemented in the command host instead of in the REXX
script, making the run-time speed and response time of a ZedREXX script
similiar to the same application written in C.@{par}@{line}
ZedREXX features include:@{par}@{line}
 · Abstract textual definition of all user-interface elements.@{par}
 · Platform independent user-interface description.@{par}
 · Single-window or multiple-window interfaces@{par}
 · Automatic snapshot of window size and placement.@{par}
 · All controls are accessable by Keyboard shortcuts.@{par}
 · Font and text sensitive layout of all GUI elements.@{par}

REXX source to see how it is done).@{par}@{line}
