Re: [MI400] Newbie Question

Thank You!!  I can under stand the concept of how things work fairly
easily.  But sometimes I need to know why something is done one way and not
another in order to fully comprehend it.  Thanks again.  Bobby.

if indeed there are no pointers (but are you sure that there could
not be - even in the future?), the CPYBWP works mostly like CPYBLA,
so both would do. Sometimes people code things a certain way for
funny reasons.
