Hello,

You might look here:
http://www.oorexx.org/

Keep in mind that when you work on a pc, 2 major differences from the mainframe are the way files are handled and that much/most mainframe rexx utilizes tso/ispf services/macros.
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

I'd like to also ask if there's some place with REXX books (aside IBM's) but mainly some exercises to train the language...

Thanks in advance,
[]'s,

If you don't mind me asking, why REXX? Most places today would prefer you to know something like PERL.
