It's May in Minnesota. You're supposed to be out fishing after 12 noon on
Fridays.

If you are at a sufficiently high release, there is an API that can retrieve
all the parameters and other stuff about commands - Retrieve Command
Definition or Retreive Command Information - one of them, I think. You could
run it against your version and against IBM's then compare the resulting XML
for differences.

Look in the API Finder at InfoCenter - I don't remember the names.

It's Friday and I'm installing and upgrading WDSC 7 plus TurnOver - worse
than selinity!!
