I would vote for 2 (cheapest and honest solution)
Add a sentence to each:
Address hostemu 'TS' is equivalent to Call trace '?R'
Address hostemu 'TE' is equivalent to Call trace 'O'
Address hostemu 'HI' is equivalent to Signal halt
That's what I see with this little Test program
Trace R
Do i=1 To 100000
j=i**i
If i<5 Then
Say 'i='i 'j='j
If i=2 Then
address hostemu 'TS'
If i=3 Then
address hostemu 'TE'
End
Say i
address hostemu 'HI'
Say i
::requires hostemu LIBRARY
Note that these subcommands can also be entered in lowercase or mixed case :-)
Option 1: still cheaper but not quite as clear
Option 3: As cheap as 2 but not quite as honest
Option 4: Some effort and honest
Option 5: I couldn't possibly estimate the (huge) effort and I doubt that the
hostemu Library should/would play a role there

Betreff: Re: [Oorexx-users] How to use HI, TS and TE in *nix (bash)
Let me summarize the discussion:
1. The hostemu environment commands “TS” “TE” and “HI” work as documented in
the ooRexx Rexx Extensions manual.
2. The commands mentioned above although named like the CMS commands, don’t
work like the CMS commands.
3. The commands mentioned above offer little if any additional functionality to
ooRexx.
It would be interesting to hear from the author to understand his/her reason
for implementing the commands.
Possible paths forward:
1. Do nothing.
2. Add documentation to clarify the use and restrictions of the current
commands.
3. Remove documentation referring to the commands, i.e. make them undocumented.
4. Remove the commands from the software and documentation.
5. Enter an RFE to change how the commands work to be compatible with the
workings of the CMS commands.
