You are, of course, right! I just didn't want to scare Don off before he'd
tried it.

 A gross understatement, Sir!  I mentioned that only because I
asked Rexx way back about a   
couple of 4DOS incompatibilities for which there was no logical reason, and
that is essentially   
what he responded with. Once I learned to watch for them, they were not a
real problem.

I seem to recall mentioning that to him, too. Wasn't it called something
else originally?

Not sure I ever encountered that one. Care to explain?  Seems like
something we should all be   
aware of.  
 
Regards,
