The only thing that bothers me about klists is that they have to be defined 
somewhere other than the definition section of my program!  Now with ILE and 
procedures, I put ALL my field and parameter definitions in the D-specs.  Now 
there is no hunting through the code to find where a field is defined - 
EXCEPT klists.  If you you can't d-spec a klist, how about allowing index 
access through a data structure?  At least then I will be able to keep my 
defintions together.  TIA
