Re: swap QTEMPs

Hi Francesco,

I'm not sure what your comment was about, but if you meant that the target
job has to create the message queue and set the break handling program, yes,
that's true. It also appears to be the case in Gary's method that the target
job is the one that has to stuff the address of the permanent context
(library) into it's PCO before another job can use that library to access
the target job's QTEMP.
