I'm still trying to get the hang of things. I'm not sure of I'm doing this correctly (where to reply/type this stuff). I find this type of "interaction" a bit strange and out-of-sync sort of feeling.
 
First, I don't even know where this summary thing is (was?) until just recently. Previously, I didn't know what it was for, as I was just adding new code (examples) and thought the adding of a new (code) example was self-explanatory. I'll try to add something like (added new example or some such) if that helps anyone understand what I just did. Hells bells, I don't even understand what I diddo half the time anyway. Hard to believe, but there are advantages of having senior moments.
 
Most of my updates (followups) are so minor that it would be distracting for casual readers what I've done, and I try to keep forcing my self to add comments to most of my REXX examples, something which seems might be a waste of time as I see very little evidence elsewhere of copious (or even brief) comments on (at) the statement level. I spend quite a bit of time dumbing-down my code to make it understandable for the novice (REXX) programmer. In doing so, I try to add (statement) comments on what the statements are doing/accomplishing, but the more advanced one gets, the more shortcuts one takes, and the code becomes obtuse with very little effort, sad to say.
