REXX may be better than COSMOS on CTSS, but that is irrelevant.
The question is is it better than the C shell and Bourne shell
which are distributed as part of UNICOS?  And is it better than
other shells likely to become a part of UNICOS, and how many shells
do we really need?  I find C shell adequate for most uses, and
Bourne shell if I really need efficiency.
