New development:

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES!

I can't pass the value going from submitting program to submitted 
program as a command line parameter (it would show up in the joblog, and 
that would be "don't cross the streams" bad), and passing it through the 
same user queue I'd listen to for a response would short circuit the 
communication.

But environment variables can be passed to a submitted job, don't show 
up in the joblog, and are invisible from outside the job that created 
them, and any jobs it passed them to.

I obviously still need the *USRQ for the response, but I can use an 
environment variable to send the outbound message.

(And now I need some lunch and a nap. Yo-Yo Ma at the Bowl last night, 
and it was a very long concert. Didn't get to bed until 2.)
