When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort 8-)

but this one is even better

rosetta code has quite a lot of algorithms in REXX

but it would be difficult to find a worse coding approach ( for any language )
it is a good example on how to write unmaintainable code

The same as for every other language. Keep it simple. Use comments where thigs may not be simple. Do not use GO TO. Use sub-routines/procedures. Document. Indent. One statement per line. etc etc etgc
