::: No, ... I guess it is the "what".   Please carefully re-read my succinct summary (immediately above the separator line).   I have never stated that ooRexx ''is'' a classic REXX interpreter, so I don't include ooRexx as being one of the Classic REXX interpreters, much as you want it to be.   Although ooRexx ''may'' execute some Classic REXX programs, ooRexx output belongs in the ooRexx language section.   I don't believe I can make it more plainer and clearer than that. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:48, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

:::: This is kind of ridiculous (sorry for being harsh). Since we can't really define what Classic REXX is or isn't (different things to some (you say many) people, we cannot define "Classic Rexx Interpreter". ooRexx is an interpreter that interprets a huge subset of all possible REXX programs exactly as many other REXX interpreters.<br>Subset: those that don't use... read my 48 words '''carefully'''. It is irrelevant whether the list of trouble spots that I listed is complete. One may find more when attempting to run programs with ooRexx. Some people even do! The 3 (three) problems I have with your programs and ooRexx I have enumerated many a time.<br>To place the ooRexx '''output''' in the ooRexx section without copying the source would be most unreasonable, so would it be to copy programs.<br>PS: I said '''REXX Interpreters'''.<br>Differences should be shown where the REXX programs are (in the REXX '''language''' section). The sections are, my understanding, for languages, not interpreters.<br>--[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 07:30, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
