Ho, Dave--

    Perhaps it would help if all of us on the echo who attempt to write
REXX extended functions would complain.  Then, maybe, the powers-that-be
(apparently yclept Laura) would get the idea that this was an important
problem to many people, and should be looked at.  On the other hand,
it's not very difficult to patch the header file.  I think I'll stick in
the few sentences explaining how to make the patch in my next REXX
article.  Unless you object, I will even acknowledge your contribution!

    All the best,

          --Murray
