I see. :-)

For the benefit of those of us who have never had to use this
environment, can you describe how you would carry out some
common tasks using this environment, so we can compare the
syntax (and semantics) to the syntax/semantics used on VMS or Unix ?

Also, is this environment actually _worse_ than IBM's JCL ?

Thanks,
