Re: Impossible to even think about rewriting in RPG

I'd agree but I'd also add that I think part of the ickyness is from
using SEU...

With SEU, /copy "hides" stuff from you; to see it, you've got to open
the /copy member in another SEU session...

Whereas with WDSC, the stuff defined in the /copy member shows up in
the outline view just like locally defined stuff.  And it just takes a
simply right click to browse the actual /copy member.
