The Signal handling in Object REXX
The handling of the halt signal seems to be buggy in Object-Oriented REXX;
for example the signal handling does not work in the following REXX
program.
[Tested with OBJREXX 6.00 12 Jul 1996]
[Fixed in OBJREXX 6.00 26 Feb 1997 and newer versions (included in WARP 4
Fixpack #6)]

Halt:
say "Abort the program? "
