THe lack of a facility to launch the ISPF editor from an external command
is a serious deficiency, IMO. I do not account OEDIT as an external command.

I regard the separator character as a relic of an era when response time
was painful; I avoid it.  And ";" is too useful as a text character to waste
as a separator.  There's no character on my keyboard(s) that I deem
expendable.  I have separator set to "¾", which I ignore.  The inability
to protect the seperator character in a delimited string is a serious
deficiency, IMO.
