When I began working at Unidata one of the first things I tried was :DELETE.FILE VOC and it of course did, things at TCL began to get really weird, until it stopped working. I was of course on a test machine and had a backup.
But when the UniQuery keyword TO first came out it would let you do things like LIST CUSTOMERS NAME ADDRESS TO VOC. And without warning boom! They have added some dummy proofing since those days.

So at some point someone had edited the voc f-pointer for LISTU.HISTORY, and put VOC into attribute 3? That's slightly dangerous. Good thing uv warns.
