Zane,
I _THINK_ that there was a version of REXX for every version of OS/2,
though not included in the basic package. REXX mirated, I believe from
mainframes and the porting over to OS/2 and DOS was an outgrowth of that
popularity.
I'm sure there was at least REXX interpreters for 8086s and up...

REXX on a PC? I think I have heard (very dimly)
of this (there was
something called REXX-88 or some such name when I was at IBM) but I
haven't used REXX for years! What does it run on? Will it run on a
Compaq 386? An IBM AT?
I know OS/2 has had it since at least version 2, can't remember if it was
in 1.3
The Amiga also has ARexx, not sure how long, but I've an Amiga OS 3.1
manual on it.
