We use the BPCS menuing system, only because it is all that is available for
the package.  I've seen several AS/400 menuing systems that were FAR
preferable to SSA's, but "'Ya gotta dance with them what brung 'ya".  We've
written a custom program that sets the BPCS environment, and uses BPCS'
security system to determine an initial program call for those calling custom
menus.  It also sets OUTQ, JOBQ, and library lists based upon the BPCS
settings.  IMHO, we could do better (but who has the time?).
