Being able to use level breaks, secondary files, total time, and so forth, and to

I once had an interviewee burst into tears when I asked her to explain
why you would probably code the processing for level breaks in a
different order at total time and detail time. It was a shame because
I really liked her. :-(

In my defence this was a l-o-n-g time ago when RPG programmers were
expected to know such things. I'm quite a nice person usually.
