RE: Key List in 'D" spec

Brad,

When Rick called KLIST a 'dead' command I think he meant that it was
non-executable, like DEFN or PLIST. He's got a point.

A "dead" command?  Oh boy.. here we go again.

I suppose ADD is a dead command too because we have eval.  Well, what if you
are incrementing a counter that you want to loop back to zero after it
maxes?  With eval, error.  With add, overflow and no problems.

Please, don't start calling commands dead.  It's silly.  RPG is supposed to
be a dead language.  (haha!)  But it's still used.
