Subject: resolve pointer

Why can't pointers be allowed to be resolved to *any* object,
regardless of security level, and just inhibit "modification"
of objects pointed to in stead?

===>but they can. I think you want to do SETSPPFP to
get a space pojnter so you can access the data. But that
would be a security breach if you are not allowed to
even read the data. Now, I do agree that SETSPPFP is
overly restrictive.

That way I wouldn't have to "patch" some of my MI programs to
system state each time I have recompiled them.

===>there are ways of overcoming that problem.
