Sorry to confuse. I thought I was saying that considering RELEASE to be 
"broken" and that it needs "fixing" is a non-starter.  Changing RELEASE to 
trap and display the CP response so that PIPE CMS RELEASE would trap 
everything wouldn't be wise, and would cause apps to break.  Adding a new 
option wouldn't be in the context of a fix - that's new function.

And that's kind of where it lays. It's a bit of extra code to get around 
the feechur.  :-)  And we supplied VMLINK years ago to assist exec writers 
in the access and release of disks and directories.
