You're right, of course, John. I was misremembering the other nucleus extensions that NAMEFIND creates for itself (NAMEFDIS, NAMEFUSE, NAMEFSYS, NAMEFIBM) and in the very old days it was a MODULE. (sigh) Thanks for catching my mistake! It certainly obviates any concern about calling entry points. New entry points can simply be added to DMSNAM.
