We have a lot of writers and need to be able to have users control them.
I spoke to Carol Woodbury at a conference about this.  She confirmed
that I'd have to use a wrapper to do this if they didn't have all the
authority.

Pick up a copy of her book.  There is a good example program by Paul
Tuohy in there that will detail what each user can do on a specific
writer/outq.

User would also either have to have a CL program behind a menu or not be
a limited user.

Curious:  What do you not like about a CL running adopted authority?
Certainly could be an issue if the CL contained any command that
provided a command line.  But, STRPRTWTR doesn't.
