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.
