Under Linux, Regina allows:

cntl. = ""
address system "LINK whatever" WITH INPUT STEM 'cntl.'

(from memory) but (also from memory) it wasn't very portable the last 
time I checked. And I have no idea whether Brexx has this and, if it does, how 
many versions of Brexx do.

I think IBM or the standards people missed a trick by not nailing
this down sooner!
