I really mistyped, Chris... sorry I misled you.  I was not talking about
true LR processing (that is, lines of code conditioned by the LR indicator).
I was referring to the concept of being purged from memory, and thus
subsequently going through initialization.  I haven't actually tested
whether LR processing occurs, my guess is that files and the like will
definitely be closed.  What would you call this processing?  "Shutdown"
processing, for lack of a better term?  In any event, my observation was
about whether initialization was called again for submodules after the main
module ends with *INLR on.

I found something very interesting.  With the following situation:

1. MAIN1 calls SUBP1 (using CALLB)
2. SUBP1 does not set on *INLR
3. MAIN1 does not set on *INLR (does a RETURN)

Call MAIN1 twice in a row, and SUBP1 *INZSR gets called both times.  In
fact, the *INZSR for MAIN1 gets called each time.  It's as if the concept of
*INLR is ignored for the main module, and when the main module executes a
RETURN, *INLR is set on automatically.  This is very bizarre.
