Hmm, no, no idea. In either case the error

    one
         2 *-* reply
    Error 99 running F:\work\svn\bsf4oorexx\trunk\bsf4oorexx\utilities\test\test2.rex line 2: 
    Translation error
    Error 99.919:  REPLY can only be issued in an object method invocation

should be raised.
[Looking into the current implementation .method is used to create the executable, which allows for
the reply keyword statement; maybe an instance of .routine should be used instead for executing the
code?]

In the first case the .output-monitor is used, in the second case explicitly the stream object
.stdout. Not sure, why Rexx behaves differently.

Not sure whether it has to do with the GUI at all.

Hmm, I see.
:(

Unfortunately, currently ("fully land under water") I am not able to dig further into it in order to
find out what the problem(s) could be. From the "gut feeling" it should have something to do with
ooRexx, rather than BSF4ooRexx.

The crash seems to occur in ooRexx itself, so maybe you can have a debug instance of ooRexx to look
into it to see why it works in one case, but not in the other?
