Re: UIM resources (was Making command parameters off-limits)

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

It so happens that SSA uses UIM for the HELP screens of the version of BPCS 
that we are using & once upon a time I asked on BPCS_L where I could get some 
UIM education & I was supplied with this URL - since then I got so busy with 
other stuff that I never had time to pursue it further.
