Create for yourself a profile called 'X' on the target machine, password =
'X'.  The program does 1 thing:  SIGNOFF with the ENDPASTHR parm set.
Local users can use it, too; so whatever the profile does should monitor
for any message a local user might receive.

Now, when you're passed through to the 'other' machine, you can use X/X get
back where you came from.  Also helpful for folks who go 'exploring' and
fing themselves stuck at the doorway to a strange machine.

On a local machine this also resets the message, "You've used too many bad
passwords; next invalid attempt varies device off."  This can be a mixed
blessing...

As far as passing through goes, how 'bout a profile whose only claim to
life is to pass through to that other machine.  Then, if you have to cancel
it, you aren't cancelling much.
