Dunno what it's called; that's why I described it the long way :).
I've written lots of REXXes that can be called either as a TSO command or an
ISPF Edit macro, and vary their behavior depending. Not sure I've ever had one
call itself that way. I can see the advantage, though...I think. At the very
least, I can combine a matched pair of modules into one member.

Is that called "modal" interaction? Likewise, CMS EXEC has such behavior; CMS
Rexx lacks it. At times, I have written a dual-path EXEC which does
ADDRESS ISRREDIT 'MACRO (X)'
... and invokes itself recursively as an Edit profile on success.
