Jerry,

The stuff I described is the way programs have always worked on OS/400
and CPF, all the way back to the S/38.

I don't think the way programs work (which is really all we're talking
about here) is anything like a MRT. Sorry, but MRTs still give me
nightmares, I wake up screaming at night.

Thanks. I really did mean a separate copy of the program. Shows how
much I know about activation groups. Your explanations reminded me
of the old MRT programs that we had on the /34 and /36; there was
only one instance of the program, but we could keep certain data
elements separate by user so that people didn't step on each other's
toes, but the other stuff was, as it were, global to everyone.
