Mike,

>so users will only use WRKSPLF?

Sure.  Try ENDS36. <g>

On a more serious note, you *may* be able to create a command called D
and put it high in the library list.  I'm not sure if this will
preempt S36 commands or not, but if it did, then you could display a
message telling them use the native version instead.

You may want your command to accept a character string as the first
positional parameter, and parse it then display the equivalent native
command as a learning crutch.

I'm not quite sure why you want to do this, unless it is just in
preparation to move them out of the environment entirely.

Doug
