You're welcome, Marcy! Yes, it is unintuitive (a lot), but at least you can use one command to change the privilege classes, since it's the only one with IBMCLASS B under QUERY VIRTUAL. If it was put under general QUERY, then using SUBCMD * IBMCLASS B would change more than one subcommand and you'd have to save the status before the change, and undo the collateral damage after. However, that's exactly what you'd have to do now if you wanted to change privilege classes for querying *virtual* addresses.
It would be good to name the currently nameless subcommands that represent addresses so that they can be easily selected with SUBCMD, and then put the one representing real addresses under general QUERY, where it belongs. But what do you call real/virtual/logical device address in one name without suggesting it's a name of the operand of QUERY command? Maybe <DEVICE>?
