Is that the Rexx that was the scripting language for IBM's OS2?

Yes Kent...
But this is Reginald RExx for windows with GUI.

[Aurel]

Here is example of Tab control in Reginald REXX:

/*
GUIBEGIN
STRING ListStrings
My string
Another string
One more
DEND

STRING TabStrings
One
Two
Three
DEND

WINDOW , 91, 221, 197, 199, POPUP|CAPTION|SYSMENU|MINBOX|MAXBOX|THICK, , TAB example
	FONT 8, 400, MS Shell Dlg
	TAB 5, 3, 187, 108, SINGLELINE|RIGHTJUSTIFY|NOFOCUS, , MyTab, , TabStrings
DEND
GUIEND
*/

/* This is an example of a Main Window Layout script. It contains a TAB
 * control with the labels "One", "Two", and "Three". When the user
 * selects "One", we create a ENTRY control and a PUSH button, and operate
 * it. When the user selects "Two", we create 4 check controls. When the
 * user selects "Three", we create a listbox containing some preset strings.
 */

/* Before opening the window, let's initialize the variables for our TAB
 * control, and each label's set of controls.
 */
MyTab = "One"	/* Initially select this label. */
TwoCheck1 = 1	/* Initially check this box. */
MyOldTab = "One"









/* Standard initialization and message loop, with one exception as regards
 * GuiCreateWindow below.
 */

LIBRARY rexxgui
GuiErr = "SYNTAX"
GuiHeading = 1

/* Normally, we call GuiCreateWindow('NORMAL'). This creates and displays
 * the window. But we don't want to display the window after it is created.
 * Why? Because we still have some more controls to add to it first. We
 * call AddTabCtls() to do that. Then we call GuiSetCtlPlacement to finally
 * display the window.
 */
GuiCreateWindow()
AddTabCtls()
GuiSetCtlPlacement(,,,,,,'NORMAL')

Again:
DO FOREVER
	GuiGetMsg()

	/* None of our handlers below calls GuiWake(). Plus, we use no child window
	 * Layout scripts. So we omit any checks of GuiObject/GuiSignal.
	 */

	CATCH SYNTAX
		CONDITION('M')
		SIGNAL Again
	CATCH HALT
	FINALLY
		GuiDestroyWindow()
END
RETURN






/* Called by Reginald when the user clicks the "OnePush" PUSH control.

 * via GuiAddCtl, we don't actually have it in any window when we

 * the "Add Event Handler" button.
