   I suppose that that wouldn't be _so_ terrible.  I would probably have
made the general/OS-specific split somewhere else, but then we'd most
likely be arguing about /dev/tty v. SYS$COMMAND, or something else, so
it's probably not really worse this way.  I'll relax and wait for things
to deteriorate.
