Which means my primary address space needs to wait for the SRB to
finish, correct?  Do I do that by using an ECB waiting on the SRB to
post?

I'm glad you said this because I had made wrong assumptions.  I need to
figure out where a BR 14 from the SRB is taking me.

I do now. (-:  A small yet important point I didn't think about.
