It's a priviledge to be able to have access to the opinions of top
quality programmers.  Until Tom said this, I never once thought about
it like this.  I have been wrappering my API calls in either CL or RPG
forever; the HLL provides the 'clean-up' and grageful error handling
for my command definitions.  Now that I hear the idea broached, it
sounds attractive...  Food for thought is good food indeed!
