Thanks.  AHELP tells me:
   ...                     
! 1.  A real device is already present for the virtual device.  This means that 
!     a terminal is already present.  This cannot occur for readers and channel 
!     to channel adapters.   

Is this because those device types are obsolete?  Might this not
yet happen in a second level VM if a virtual reader defined at
first level is ATTACHed to the second level VM, where it would
appear real?  Or is support for real readers completely absent
from CP nowadays?

Thanks also.  I need to check which is more suitable.

A broader question.  Does WAITDEV (and perhaps other builtin
stages) modify the I/O new PSW?  Do they restore it before
running CMS or CMD?  (CP shouldn't matter.)  Is there a risk
that interrupts will be lost while CMS owns the PSW?  Is
there a compatibility matrix of Pipeline stages versus CMS
commands available?

Thanks,
gil
