REXX Filetype

REXX (REstructured eXtended eXecutor) is an interpreted programming language developed at IBM by Mike Cowlishaw. Proprietary and open source REXX interpreters exist for a wide range of computing platforms ; compilers exist for IBM mainframe computers.

Add the following lines to ~/.config/geany/filetype_extensions.conf under the respective sections [Extensions] and [Groups]

Save the configuration file below in your Geany filetype definition files config directory, e.g. ~/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.REXX.conf

NB: Note that this filetype definition file is in version 1.0, meaning it can be used but needs improvement.
