REXX Tips & Tricks:Development Tools
These sections contain information about some REXX development tools, e.g. VX/REXX.
(Well, at this time the section about VX/REXX is the only one - but with some help of others there may be more in the future.)

VX/REXX Buglist
This section has been moved to its own page, see: Bastian Märkisch: Inofficial VX-REXX buglist
DrDialog Buglist
This section contains a list of known bugs in DrDialog.
"There is a problem running DrDialog programs under Object REXX if they use DrsAide (as shipped) controls. Because Object REXX parses the entire file before running, many times syntax errors which would go undetected under "Classic" REXX are in fact detected. There is just such a syntax error in the DrsAide utility.
To fix the problem, open the DRSAIDE.RES file from the DrDialog File Menu option. Double-Click the ICONBUTTON (the only control visible other than the DIALOG). The DrRexx Code editor should appear with the ICONBUTTON section open. Click the "Drop-" tab and use the spin-button under the edit window to bring up the Class code. At the very end, on its own line, type END. Save the file. And now everything should work."

The slidercontrols of DrDialog are buggy.
Workaround: Use the Scrollbars instead
