i can guess...  the spendmoney command.

i can see it now.  fred mis-manager goes to joe exec and says 'we need
$100,000 to get the new as/400 operating system and the subscription
fee.'

joe says, 'what good will that do me?'

fred says, 'well, we need to stay current and there are some neat new
programming features.'

joe says, 'well, i've been speaking to my friend sam pc-buff and he says
we can get a brand new p/c network for $25,000...'  

so fred decides not to push the matter, and hopes someday he can get a
new as/400 at a cheaper tier.
