I'm usually as exact as possible. That is, I tend to say "REXX program" or maybe even "ISPF EDIT REXX". For UNIX, I tend to say "BASH script", "Perl script", "awk script", ... . The only time when I normally leave that off is when the subject basically specifies the environment. I.e. "Does anybody have a Perl program to ..." will like get a response like "yes, I have a script to do that." If I want to switch languages, I'll reply like: "No, but I have such a script in REXX". -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
