Re: Fw: Rewarding challenge AS/400...

Good for you Dale !

That's what I meant - there are "undocumented" things that there is NO WAY
someone new to the AS/400 would know about. A lot of this used to be in these
things called MANUALS and may still be...

At least you didn't make the password something obvious like "Sonic" or
"Hedgehog" or, shudder "Nintendo" ;-)
