As I stated, this was a very common "feature" in many FORTRAN programs that provided prompts to users.  Both channel 5 and 6 were the screen for interactive applications and often the programmers would differentiate prompts from "output" this way.  I didn't agree, but it was a convention in some places.  With direct execution, there was no problem.  As you found, command procedure wrappers create problems.  I believe that you can get around this by assigning both FOR005 and FOR006 to TT:  (I haven't tried this, but it may work.)
