I have a basic understanding of LOAD, LINK, ATTACH, XCTL, ...; much less of ISPF behavior. I find it a needless burden on the user to introduce novel terminology for existing concepts. Had I been making the decision, instead of SELECT PGM(MYPROG) I would have used LINK(MYPROG), and instead of SELECT CMD(MYCMD) I would have used ATTACH(MYCMD).
