include a file
I tried to run your latest REXX entry (Rosetta code task: "include a file") and I got three different errors, one with Regina, another with R4, and also with Personnel REXX (all are the latest versions):

Is the REXX program expected to only be executed by a certain REXX interpreter or only under a certain operating system? -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 03:06, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
