Interesting subfile "feature"

An interesting little thing apropos of nothing... sometime, you might want
to take a look at a program listing that contains a subfile with some output
only fields.  You'll find that the output-only fields actually show up in
the input buffer.  Which means that, when you do a CHAIN or a READC on a
subfile, the output fields get updated with the contents of the record you
just read.

An interesting feature, to say the least.
