For Rexx, I would commend Mike Cowlishaw's The Rexx Language, but you may find it hard to get. Amazon.com just has a facsimile at nearly 68USD. I don't have Howard Fosdick's Programmer's Reference, but the bits I inspected online look good.

(He will be programming in REXX and Nomad running under VM) I am looking for some basic training material as we have never done a class nor participated in a class in VM/CMS. I am thinking an overview of the operating system along with some of the history behind it, XEDIT, basic CMS Commands, basic CP Commands, and REXX. Would anyone be willing to share some training material or point me to some? I do have access to some of the manuals but I was hoping to find a combined document to start with. Thank you all in advance. .Dave
