it's the  myriad ways that a "normal" shutdown is requested that

etc., etc.) Over  the years, allowing different programmers with 
different ideas to just "do  their thing" has resulted in a tremendous 
(and rather obvious) lack of  standardization in this area. 


 
The same is true for screen commands.  E.g., in TSO/ISPF program  function 
key 3 will take you back to the previous screen.  But not always  in other 
facilities/products, such as BookManager or Information Link.   Yes, I know the 
Info Link is a VM-based facility.  So?
