"VREXX is Visual REXX - a new way for OS/2 users to create their own Presentation Manager (PM) programs using REXX! VREXX provides users with a set of functions that can be called from REXX procedures. These functions open and close standard PM windows, providing programmable control over the appearance and positioning of the windows.

VREXX is very useful for little programs - for more complex applications you should use some other GUI package (for example Dr. Dialog).
Note: If you're going to develop programs using VREXX you should have a tool like PSPM handy.
