::Thanks Gerard. What does your impressively minimal REXX program do ? --[[User:Tigerofdarkness|Tigerofdarkness]] ([[User talk:Tigerofdarkness|talk]]) 17:24, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
::: It "crashes" the REXX interpreter, the messages can vary from REXX to REXX, but for Regina REXX, the output shown to my terminal (a Windows DOS "boxed" screen) is:
<pre>
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────09/15/2021 13:21:27
c:\►regina haltfire
Error 35 running "c:\haltfire.rex", line 1: Invalid expression
Error 35.1: Invalid expression detected at "="
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────09/15/2021 13:21:29
c:\►
</pre>
--- where the 1st two lines (actually, it is one DOS prompt line that is wrapped into two lines) and
--- lines 3 and 4 are the actual (two) error messages from Regina REXX,
--- followed by the DOS prompt (again, it looks like two lines, but it is a single long DOS prompt that wraps.
--- A different REXX interpreter should/may produce similar error messages(s).
::: I could've chosen some other character, but a lone equal sign seemed (to me) a very succinct way to "crash" a REXX interpreter without use some other "special" character. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:37, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
