any Y2K-proof version of the OS should support ENVIRONMENT.
Using ENVIRONMENT saves a few bytes, at least once.
The manual (HELP REXX VALUE) could be modernized too, by not
using OS2ENVIRONMENT in all examples anymore.
FWIW: the OS itself still uses ye olde OS2ENVIRONMENT too, e.g. in the x:\ECS\INSTALL directory. Old dogs...
