The semigroup OT (X) of all order-preserving total transformations of a finite chain X is known to be regular. We extend this result to subchains of Z; and we characterise when OT (X) is regular for an interval X in R. We also consider the corresponding idea for partial transformations of arbitrary chains and posets.
