Well, no, I think.  Each interactive application needs to have its own
area.  I need to account for nested calls.  IOW,
PgmA calls
  PgmB calls
    PgmC calls
      PgmD calls
        PgmE etc.
All 5 interactive programs, in the same job, would have to have their own
structure.

But I am leaning towards Scott's latest suggestion, which I believe will
simplify things *greatly*.
