No one has every requested that. Rexx is essentially a command line
program. The installer creates a Start Menu group that has an item for both
the console version of rexxtry and the GUI version of rexxtry.

ooRexx and IBM's Object Rexx can not be installed on the same system. We
state this explicitly in several of the read me files. It is not supported.

There is no "fix," there is no work around. You need to either remove
IBM's Object Rexx or remove ooRexx.

When IBM donated the source code for Object Rexx to RexxLA, they did not
donate the source code for the WorkBench. So, there currently is no IDE
for ooRexx.

ooRexxTry.rex is a GUI version of the rexxtry.rex program. It is not an
IDE. It allows you enter Rexx statements and execute them.
