It seems to me that perhaps you've never read any of Steve's DCL

:-)

I have, and reading it takes some concentration.  I believe it's a 
difference in style and approach.  I've noticed that he does several 
things in a manner that is far different than what I might have done.

I've noticed this with others also.  Different style, perception, and 
approach to implementing procedures, both in DCL and in other languages.

It's my fear that since I've noticed differences in approach by more 
than a few other people, that perhaps I'm the goofy one here ....

:-(
