Amen and AMEN to _THAT_, and your other comments as well!  You'd think that
after more than 10 years, the RPG examples wouldn't still be in RPG II with
left hand indicators out the yin-yang or that the COBOL examples would have
language equivalents for languages that are used just a little more frequently
