Thanks Chuckie. I work with Jim and already know I need to watch my back.
Actually I've never done this. We did have a Systems Programmer In Training (Jim loves the acronym) some years back (and in Jim's defense I have to say this was before Jim joined us) who did it three times over the course of about a month. The head systems programmer at the time made her a button to wear with one word on it in black capital letters (SHUTDOWN), with a red circle around it and a red diagonal line through it. :-)

No, not *every* sysprog, just the ones Jim has worked with. Verrrrrry interesting. One might suspect (if one were of a suspicious mind) that Jim also has his Initiates issue the "LOGO" command, too, just for fun. So a word to the wise: If you find yourself working with Jim, watch your back! He's gonna try to get you to issue SHUTDOWN at the wrong place! -- Chuckie.
