I find the LDA is a good place to put stuff that other programs might
need.

Aaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhh! Please tell me that was missing a smiley.

That what it's there for.

No it isn't Albert. It is there as a nasty reminder of the bad old days when we couldn't even pass parms. Actually the days when one program couldn't even call another directly without going via the command language.

I just don't understand why anyone would use it today when there are so many better and less error prone alternatives.
