Barbara,

 I would rather see another parm on the EXFMT.  That way the method can be
softcoded without conditioning blocks:
 UIType = '*WEB'  ;
 EXFMT  MYFMT   UIType ;

 as opposed to:
 IF UIType = '*WEB' ;
   EX-UI MYFMT ;
 ELSE  ;
   EXFMT MYFMT ;
 ENDIF ;

 Then there wouldn't be another opcode and Bob especially would be a lot
happier that there's one less hyphenated opcode!

Snort.

Don't worry, what George shows around is often far from being fully
designed.  George's presentations are often just a preliminary sketch to
help people understand what he is saying, just like Aaron suggested.  As
the designs firm up, George's presentations may be closer to the final
reality.

"EXUI" makes me carsick.  For what it's worth, my best guess for the
"EXUI" opcode is "EXFMT".  It's a goofy name, but it seems sort of
familiar to me ...

Anyway, it wouldn't be EXUI, it would be EX-UI.  (rubbing salt into
Bob's wound)
