"Regina" is a REXX interpreter. https://regina-rexx.sourceforge.io/ You don't necessarily have to know Latin to know about "regina" and "rex"; a bit of knowledge of royal protocol can help, or you might just recognize the parallels. But honestly, knowing a bit of Latin isn't a bad thing :) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
