AS/400 wish list

After reading's L.S. Russell's wish for the INC opcode, I was reminded
of the features I'd love to see in the OS.   

1) Save File support for hte LODRUN command.   This seems simple
enough, and lends itself to e-commerce by recognizing the fact that
products can easily be distributed over the net via save files.  Just
FTP the SAVF to Your AS/400 and perform the LODRUN(*SAVF)
SAVF(MyLib/MyFile).

2) The Anti-*PUBLIC User Profile.   This is a profile that is not
allowed to get authority from the *PUBLIC bit in the object.   These
Anti-*PUBLIC profiles could be used to allow network access without
opening up access  to every other object on the box.  An Anti-*PUBLIC
would have to be explicitly authorized to an object in order to use
it.

3) An Exit Program for the signon screen.   Wouldn't it be Useful to
be able to intercept the sign-on and pass data to and from the
screen?.


Is anybody listening?
