File extension CMD description:
REstructured eXtended eXecutor language (REXX) was developed with the intention of providing a language that makes programming easier. It is a language designed for the computer administrator, whether the administrator is an experienced programmer or just a beginner. Because of this, learning how to program effectively in the REXX language is considerably easier than in many other languages. No compiler is required. It is an interpreted language, meaning each step of the program is evaluated and then executed each time the program runs. REXX evolved out of the EXEC and EXEC 2 languages that provided a way to bundle Conversational Monitor System (CMS) commands together. REXX took that concept a step further by providing the CMS command interface along with the syntax and function of a more robust programming language. REXX was developed and used internally at IBM* for a few years before being made a part of the Virtual Machine/System Product (VM/SP) in 1983. In 1987 REXX was chosen by IBM to be the Systems Application Architecture (SAA*) procedural language, paving the way for the important role it has assumed in the Operating System/2* (OS/2*) product.

OS/2
OS/2 is a computer operating system, initially created by Microsoft and IBM, then later developed by IBM exclusively. The name stands for "Operating System/2," because it was introduced as part of the same generation change release as IBM's "Personal System/2 (PS/2)" line of second-generation Personal Computers. OS/2 is no longer marketed by IBM, and IBM standard support for OS/2 was discontinued on December 31, 2006. Currently, Serenity Systems sells OS/2 under the brand name eComStation.
OS/2 was intended as a protected mode successor of PC-DOS and Microsoft Windows. Notably, basic system calls were modeled after MS-DOS calls; their names even started with "Dos" and it was possible to create "Family Mode" applications: text mode applications that could work on both systems. Because of this heritage, OS/2 is like Windows in many ways, but it also shares similarities with Unix and Xenix.
OS/2 is also remembered for being one of the first major operating system to have its own advocacy group. Team OS/2 was a grassroots, ad-hoc organization of volunteers, who promoted and supported the operating system and applications designed for it.
