I think this facility should be supported on all of the OVRxxx
commands (OVRDBF, OVRDSPF, OVRPRTF, etc.) --
so that it would be possible to "redirect" any existing file to another
device (or the web).

Problem is, then you'll want it to work for all existing compiled code,
yes? That means you need to intercept the calls that are already being
made, with the existing parameter lists. That's calls to the QDB* stuff
for database and QDM* stuff for display. And those are likely some old
fragile APIs. Not to mention the impact that would have on the address
resolution caching that goes on, and I even think that may go through
the SEPT. In short, a cool conceptual idea, but one hell of an
engineering task. I like the new approach better.
