Yeef! I've been using DSPLY for a quarter century as a way of getting
quick-and-dirty output, and I never noticed that.

If it makes you feel any better, long ago I made a little CLP for
myself called DBGMSG which simply accepts a text parameter and uses
the SNDMSG command to send myself debugging messages that way. I
didn't even discover the DSPLY opcode until much, much later.

And then, even after I found DSPLY, like you I found that the messages
I wanted to go to myself "had to" go to QSYSOPR instead, so I *kept
using my silly CLP*!

I have so much visual and muscle memory built up for it that I still
use it today, rather than DSPLY.
