I'm curious as to why the preponderance of Rexx examples posted to these lists
prefer [PARSE] PULL over STEM (I suggested the latter in my followup).  I avoid
using the stack as much as possible because in my experience it leads to hard-
to-diagnose errors if the PUSHes and PULLs ever get out of sync.  And in the
case where the entire record is needed in a variable, STEM saves a statement.
