Sorry, it wasn't an IPCS discussion, it was the same discussion as this.

And my statement was misleading.  The 136 is the size needed to browse
storage and see 8 hex words on the left plus the EBCDIC stuff on the right
side of the screen.   I think that was the size Ed was using initially and what
I used also until I realized I wanted to be able to edit/view lrecl=133 and
see the whole thing with the sequence numbers.
