Using the QzshSystem Qshell API

 >> It's one of my pet peeves that a lot of the api documentation is C
oriented.  Makes you think that no one thought anyone would want to call
them from RPG.

I have heard some Rochester managers state categorically that "no one writes
in RPG anymore" to justify the lack of RPG examples.  Personally I find it
less annoying that system programming type APIs like this are only
documented for C use, than the SQL stuff!

The lack of RPG examples was one of the motivators for the "Who knew ..."
Redbook - it is still the motivator for pressing IBM to do "Son of
Redbook" - sadly it looks as if that won't happen.
