I am battling in using my linux & wine environment.
1st: did you see the list of prerequisites mentioned in oo82162A.htm? The first item is Windows. In contrast you use a linux & wine environment. Do you know about the differentnesses? What gives you the faith this could work?
2nd: next prerequisite item is Open Object REXX. Did you read the readme.pdf that comes with it? Also paragraph 2.2 Software Requirements? With all the Windows versions mentioned there Wine is missing. AFAIK Wine spells "Wine Is Not an Emulator". Hmm...
3rd: you may install ooREXX under Linux as described in chapter 3 of the a. m. readme.pdf -- alas, to show a nice application window I use ooDialog which is based on Windows GUI. So even most of my program would run, you must rewrite all what makes up the dialog window. Yes, why not, others solve crossword puzzles.
Next: as with many other programs the suffixes of its files gets associated with it at installation time. Same for ooREXX with .rex, .rxh and one more I can't remember. (Choice of suffix is up to you.) So REXX is started automated similar as .txt or .htm/.html too.
One more word: to care for HP41 and even older calculators is pretty nostalgic, similar with ooREXX and Windows. In contrast you use Linux&Wine, ask for webinars, tutorials and other modern rubbish and like to get ready for use "elles vorgekaut in d'Fingr g'schissa" (babelfish.de fails to translate that). I recommend to read along the descriptions and manuals and get it done as exactly as it is written. There are reasons why other options are not mentioned.
